The first Monday of the year is the traditional day to start the diet and adopt a healthier diet. So that new habits do not represent more spending, the key is to keep an eye on fruits, vegetables and the vegetables that are in season during the summer. These items are on average 20% more affordable this time of year, in addition to being the most beautiful and rich in nutrients.
On the other hand, high temperatures and the typical rains hamper the production of some vegetables and fruits, which affects the amounts charged in fairs, supermarkets and grocery stores:
