Cheap PP

Many people think that proper nutrition is the prerogative of rich people. Goji berries, baobab fruit powder, moringa and God knows what else immediately come to mind. But cheap PP is a reality.

But the basic principles of proper nutrition are:

1. eating foods with minimal industrial processing,
2. avoidance of products with refined ingredients,
3. nutritional balance

Thus, eating right does not mean spending a lot of money. A menu for proper nutrition can be created to suit any budget.

If you are the happy owner of your own plot, then proper nutrition for at least six months a year is more accessible than for those who do not have this plot.

If you don’t have a plot of land and money is tight (which is not uncommon in Russian realities), then pay attention to the following list of products that will help you stick to proper nutrition all year round without a hit on your wallet.

If you are asking a question about how to eat cheaply on a PP, we will give you some tips.

1. Try to stick to eating seasonal
   vegetables and fruits.
2. cooperative purchasing groups and fairs on wheels in your city
3. Pay attention to specialized online stores - all this will help save you money.
4. Also pay attention to products under supermarket brands (such as “red price”) - the quality of such products is no worse, the price tag is reduced due to direct contracts between the chain and manufacturers (that is, there are no intermediaries) and primitive packaging design.

Where does the myth come from: “PP is expensive”

Firstly, it is profitable to sell something under the guise of an irreplaceable, correct product. With the popularity of healthy lifestyle, not only a million public pages and articles on this topic appeared, but also new products on the market. A lot of “miracle products” with the “PP” brand at an increased price: goji berries, expensive salads like kale, etc.

Secondly, the difference between food prices in Russia and abroad. Of course, the availability of different products differs in different countries, but recipes on the Internet may not differ. Those who write healthy recipes can take inspiration from foreign chefs. Therefore, when you come across a healthy lifestyle recipe with sweet potatoes, expensive cheeses or, for example, quinoa, this may be just such a case. It is important to know what you can replace expensive ingredients with and always have recipes on hand using ingredients more typical of the region.

What to replace an expensive product with?

• Quinoa → buckwheat
• Imported cheeses → local cheeses
• Expensive fruits → seasonal fruits
• Expensive vegetables → seasonal or frozen and canned vegetables
• Olive oil → sunflower oil
• Chia seeds → flax seeds
• Acai, goji berries → cranberries and rose hips
• Ready food → homemade

Thirdly, by creating a detailed meal plan for yourself using healthy foods, you will not throw anything away. Buying cheap food for use and then throwing away half of it is not environmentally friendly or even healthy eating. Planning will allow you to buy expensive products like nuts, avocados, healthy oils, but spend less overall because you are not buying anything extra.

A healthy diet fills you up faster, and your health improves when your diet is balanced. Subsequently, satisfaction from food increases and you no longer need to spend money on gingerbread or candy to eat away an unpleasant emotion.

Bottom line: proper nutrition does not necessarily mean expensive, but you need to think through your diet, choose products typical of the region, and also spend time cooking.
