Bu...I will have to disagree with you hear a little. But healthy eating IS more expensive than buying junk. Here in the UK it is anyway. Sure, you can eat healthier stuff than junk food for less money, but if you follow a 98% clean diet, like I do, and you eat around 8-10 portions of fruit and veg a day, then it is definitely more expensive than unhealthy eating. I don't use this as an excuse though. For me, it is worth it and I just cut back elsewhere.Danniihttp://www.hungryhealthyhappy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241450536607462866.post-28746073748448752402010-08-03T15:22:41.821-05:002010-08-03T15:22:41.821-05:00So happy to hear the positive comments and great t...So happy to hear the positive comments and great tips!!!<br /><br />Thank you ver much for the honorary blog post..

I find that grocery stores typically place REAL food on the perimeter of the store. Just don't go down the aisles!

I've been preaching the gospel of "do it yourself" meals for AGES - I have DIY recipes for everything from skillet meals to pizza, all involving whole grains, low fat dairy products, FRESH VEGGIES AND MEAT. I'll admit that I do use SOME canned - soups, green beans, tomatoes - for convienence, but even still, those are better than buying a Hungry Man or Totinos! I saw a family yesterday in line in front of me and EVERY SINGLE ITEM on their conveyer was FROZEN PRE-PACKAGED - TV dinners, pizzas, chicken nuggets . . . I just wanted to give them a grocery makeover!!<br /><br />Chicken nuggets $7<br />VS<br />1 lb boneless skinless breasts $4.50<br />1 C breadcrumbs @ $.50<br />7 second cooking spray spray @ $.10<br />Total @$5.10<br /><br />Which is cheaper?SuperMom Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758565224646606614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241450536607462866.post-58124652576819854492010-08-03T09:34:33.360-05:002010-08-03T09:34:33.360-05:00AMEN TO THAT!!!!!

I have to admit that the locally raised beef and chicken I buy at Ozark Natural Foods is quite a bit more expensive, so I simply give my family smaller portions of those items and fill the plates up with veggies and whole grain sides. We're all satisfied at the end of the meal, and I feel better knowing we ate more healthily AND we ate animals that had a better life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307057962323633135noreply@blogger.com
