A smart way of spending your money on food

The 10-plan Shopping Guide
The FOODcents 10-plan shopping guide shows how to spend your food budget on a balanced diet.
Spend your food money in the same way you balance the foods in your diet. We know that we should eat with the healthy diet pyramid, so it makes sense that we should spend with it too.
STEP 1: How much do you usually spend on food per week?
eg: Food budget = $10
STEP 2: Divide this amount by 10 to get a $ amount per part
eg: Food Budget = $10 ÷ 10 = $1 per ‘part’
STEP 3: Write down the amount you should spend on each section.
For every $10 ....
The FOODcents 10-Plan Shopping Guide can help you calculate how you are currently spending your food money compared with how you could be spending it to balance your diet and your budget.
