They will be less expensive than items that have been pre-cut if you’re willing to take a few extra minutes chopping.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19246" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Also, look for ingredients that are in season. Not because it’s cool or trendy but because when fruits and vegetables are abundant, the stores want to sell them quickly, so not only will they be the highest quality, they will be less expensive.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19256" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">On this trip, Herron, chef at Miami’s Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink, made a braised fish dish with a salad of raw shaved vegetables in only 20 minutes.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19267" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">This is part of ABC World News’ week-long “Real Money” series to save families money.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19267" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Video on: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/beyond-the-headline-abc-news/breaking-fast-food-habit-195309011.html</div></div>
