Eat Well, Spend Less

Monday, February 2nd, might be the official Groundhog's Day, but with the media constantly reminding you of the current plight of our economy, you might be thinking you're living in the movie "Groundhog's Day."  Every morning, you turn on the news and hear about all the depressing economic numbers, and job losses that everyday people like you, our readers, are experiencing.  

With all of this bad news, it's natural that many of us will cut back costs in all areas of our budget, and consequently many experts are now concerned that people will start to favor cheaper options of foods that are generally associated with higher calories and saturated fats.  Aside from the cost factor, there are the ole' reliable "comfort foods" that we tend to gravitate towards in tough times, which also are generally not the healthiest food options out there.  

While we certainly can't fix all the ills of our economy, we at Skinny and the City feel strongly that you might need us more than ever to help you through these difficult times.  Enter our Eat Well, Spend Less articles, exclusively on the website. We are dedicating this week to demonstrating how you can remain healthy and maintain your glow without burning a hole in your pocket.
