Farmers’ Markets are a great way to save on fresh fruits and veggies since they are often much less expensive (and often fresher) than those at the grocery store! Also, I think it’s nice to support local businesses and farmers whenever you can.

You are so right! I don’t think most people correlate bad food choices with the cost of medical care, but there’s a lot of research that shows just how closely the two are related. Thanks for bringing it up. Hopefully it will help others make better food choices.

Potato chips are my downfall as well. The packs of Snapea crisps have been helping me satisfy the urge for something crisp and salty, though I still seem to eat an entire bag in one sitting.

Unless you are buying the packs that are combined with pasta or sauces, frozen veggies typically have NO additives. Not knowing it certainly doesn’t make you dense! If in doubt, a quick glance at the ingredients list should put your mind at ease. Thanks for stopping by!

Something I think alot of people don’t think about with yes processed foods are cheaper at the check out, but don’t think about the copay for the Drs when they get sick, or in the long run trying to loose weight or have other health issues that could have been prevented from eating healthier to begin with. So if one looks at the big picture then its actually cheaper to spend a little more now vs alot more later.
