Financial Fitness Spotlight: Choose Meatless Protein Sources
Foods like beans, lentils, etc. are wonderful protein sources and are also extremely good for you! They’re also insanely cheap – especially if you buy them dry and in bulk (although canned is pretty cheap also).
Switch to meatless a couple of nights a week and your health and wallet will thank you!
**I do this often-- I'll swap cottage cheese on my salad instead of meat! Try it!
