you bet. tim: looking to lose

weight but the only thing shrinking is your wallet? we'll show you how to eat right

spending habits, and that includes how much we dish out at the grocery store. holly firfer has some tips in today's health minute. " " eating right on a budget starts with a little planning that before you head to

the grocery store, (ann dunaway teh/registered dietitian nutritionist)" plan out your meals in advance, make a grocery shopping list and stick to that list when you're shopping." and though it may be a little more trouble, double a recipe from time to time so you can freeze part of it for another day. buying in bulk is often cheaper. registered dietitians recommend filling half your plate with fruits and veggies, and buying ones that are in season is often cheaper. fill the other half of your plate with whole grains and lean meats. and if you want to save a little on that meat? (ann dunaway teh/registered dietitian nutritionist) "one way to make your meat dollars go further is by adding beans to the mixture and then you can stretch the meat and actually use less in the same dish." controlling portion size is another way to help your budget. experts say if something is in front of us we tend to eat it even when we're full. so try using smaller plates. and finally, save going out to eat for special occasions. dining out is almost expensive than cooking your own. and if you get tired work, get the kids to for today's health minute, i'm holly firfer. jenna: coming up in
