Marilyn Morris, a Gloucester-based Virginia Cooperative Extension agent in family and consumer sciences, says that if you shop smart, you can live on a tight budget and still have a healthy diet. Some ways to save at the grocery:
Make a list before you go. Buy only what's on it.
Choose the grocery that will give you the most for your money.
Buy store brands, instead of highly advertised brands, to save money.

Buy chicken and turkey, instead of red meat, because it's usually less expensive. Poultry can be a better buy because it contains more protein and less fat than many other meats.
Less tender cuts of beef, such as round and chuck, are less expensive but are as nutritious as the tender cuts. Cook them right - braise or stew - and they are delicious.
