4 Thrifty Ways to Stay Healthy

With recent health challenges, I find myself at a crossroads to revamping how I keep my family healthy (and myself!). Every routine deserves a check in now and again, as we gain more knowledge and learn what works well, or does not. One of my friends reminded me – when we know better, we do better.

Although our cold prevention routine does work, it’s hard to fit into our budget, when I spend $50-70 each month on vitamins. Within our family, every kind is needed from women’s to men’s to kids. Add in additional supplements in winter, and it adds up fast. Here’s a few other ways I have come up with that help our health:

4 Thrifty Ways to Stay Healthy

  • Get more vitamin D
    Grab the dog, or a friend and get moving. A simple 10-20 minute walk around the block will give you the vitamin D you need, and boost your creative thought. I frequently strap on my iPhone and will make phone calls to catch up with friends and family as I go.
  • If you’re drinking juice – choose 100% juice.
    We stock up on case loads of 100% unsweetened, pure apple juice when it goes on sale for less than .85 cents a 1L container. When carrots are on sale, we’ll buy a big bag and juice them. Or pick off the fruit that’s on sale and make a smoothie! My kids are even into water with fruit infused in them overnight.TheInspiredHome.org // 5 Thrifty Ways to Stay Healthy #HonibeBuzz
  • A balanced diet makes a difference.
    Lay off the fast food, and make homemade meals. I recently filled my freezer full of nutritious quick meals that I just have to throw in the crockpot or vegetables too. This made a big difference on how many meals per week we are ordering. It also boosts nutrition and helps you eat a better portion size. If you need ideas, grab a freezer meal book from the library, or check out Pinterest. 
  • Choose a better multivitamin.
    I’m happy to tell you there’s an easier alternative – Canadian made, 50% less refined sugar than other gummies, and you only have to take it once a day. Enter honibe honey gummiesâ„¢. As an individual affected with allergies, I have to tell you they are also free of gluten, dairy and artificial flavours or preservatives making them a safe choice. They haven’t upset my sensitive stomach. It has changed my vitamin caddy for the better. There are so fewer choices now – only one for adults, and one for kids. Honibe Gummies
    The kids love these “owie yummies”. They both are quick to remind me when I have not given them theirs of the day. As a mom, I appreciate not having to remember what number I have already have given them. It’s simple. There’s just one.Buy any 2 bottles of the honibe honey gummiesâ„¢ and receive a FREE bottle of the honibe honey gummiesâ„¢ Fruit and Vegetable PLUS free shipping for the WHOLE order.

    My girls would find those gummies hard to resist! I hear you on making sure it’s 100% juice. Sometimes the hubby comes home with a “fruit beverage”, and I have to roll my eyes at him. 😛

      Yes! My husband bought an entire case of juice boxes in the summer from that warehouse store that were fruit beverage because they were “on sale”. Men.
