Advice from Yerxa included in BDN article on how to eat well on a budget
Kate Yerxa, a statewide nutrition and physical activity educator with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke with the Bangor Daily News for an article about how to eat well while on a budget. Yerxa said buying in bulk is a good way to cut food costs, though it’s important to keep items properly stored. When looking to cut costs, the freezer can be your best friend, whether it’s packaging and freezing big batches of meals or preserving in-season produce for later use, the article states. “Freezing is a great way for you to eat well in the middle of winter,” Yerxa said.
