How to Eat Healthy Without Overspending with Carol Ann Kates
Wednesday, 11 November, 2026
Send us Fan MailHealthy eating can feel expensive.But sometimes the problem isn’t only the price of food.We buy too much.We shop without a plan.Fresh produce goes bad.We misunderstand food labels.We pay extra for convenience.And sometimes we throw away a surprising amount of the food we already paid for.In this episode, I sit down with Carol Ann Kates, former supermarket and deli operator and author of Grocery Shopping Secrets, to talk about how to shop smarter, spend less, reduce food waste, and still eat well.Carol Ann grew up in the grocery business and learned from an early age how to recognize high-quality produce and choose food carefully. We talk about one of the simplest money-saving habits:Make a plan before you go shopping.That means checking your fridge, freezer and pantry, knowing what needs to be used first, planning meals, and buying what you actually need instead of wandering through the supermarket hoping inspiration will strike. Carol Ann also explains how to recognize fresher produce, when frozen fruits and vegetables can actually be the smarter choice, how to make food last longer, and why understanding food dates can help reduce unnecessary waste. We also talk about affordable protein, convenient foods that can still support healthy eating, organic foods, seafood, and one of my favorite topics: food labels that sound healthy but don’t necessarily mean very much.As I mention during the conversation, we now see “high protein” written on more and more products—but the only way to know what you’re actually getting is to turn the package around and read the nutrition information. Carol Ann makes the same point: front-of-package claims can be meaningless unless you check what’s actually inside.In this episode, we talk about:whether healthy eating really needs to be expensivewhy meal planning can save moneywhat to do before entering the supermarketwhy organizing your fridge and pantry mattershow to recognize fresh producefresh versus frozen fruits and vegetablesfoods people commonly store incorrectlyhow food waste quietly increases your grocery billunderstanding sell-by datesfreezing foods to reduce wastehow to buy protein on a budgetwhether convenience foods are automatically unhealthyuseful convenient foods to keep at homewhen organic food may be worth paying extra forchoosing seafood when you don’t live near the coastwhich food-label claims can be misleadingwhy “high protein” on the front of a package doesn’t always mean muchwhat Carol Ann would put in a healthy grocery cartsimple ways to spend less and waste less starting this weekLearn more about Carol Ann and Grocery Shopping Secrets:Website:https://www.carolannkates.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/carolannkatesLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-ann-katesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/p/Carol-Ann-Kates-KitchenPinterest:https://www.pinterest.com/CarolAnnKates/PinterestX:https://x.com/CarolAnnKatesTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@carolannkates Try The Consistency ResetMy new personalized coaching app for women 35–55 who are tired of starting over with diets, workouts, and healthy habits.Get simple daily actions, realistic workouts, practical nutrition habits, and Reset Mode to help you keep going when life gets busy.Take the quiz and build your personalized plan here: studio.com/turo/consistency-reset
