What is so expensive you ask???? Eating healthy! My hubby and I recently went to the grocery store on our base (things are much cheaper there) to do some "healthy" shopping. We both need to lose some weight....me more than him but he is the one that has been feeling unhealthy and bad about himself....
Anyway...we got a bunch of fresh fruit, salad, nuts, lean meats, fish, Japanese Nishiki Rice(it's sticky rice and really good for you), frozen veggies, spray on salad dressing and a ton of other healthy stuff....along with the normal stuff that we needed and stuff for the kids. Well, we spent twice as much as we normally would and that's gonna be hard to maintain on the income of my Marine hubby.
I just don't understand why the "powers that be" complain and make Americans feel bad saying that we are all so fat and that it's an epidemic yet they make eating healthier so expensive! No wonder all of the rich people and hollywood what-nots are skinny....they can afford it!!! They can have chefs and personal trainers...
So where does that leave us average Joes.....well...like my hubby and I...we are trying....lol...taking baby steps and buying the healthy stuff that we can afford. It's definately a lot easier EATING the healthier food...just not BUYING it! I would love to hear anyone's feelings and thoughts on this random blog...lol...I'm tired and still hurting with these darn kidney stones......

Yes, the healthy food in markets is on the outside isles!!!! You will reap the rewards though. And you will become a more "polished" consumer! Yeah!!!! Nana C
I have found that I have gone to making everything from scratch. even the healthy foods have poisons in them. I buy very few canned good items and make beans from a bag and lots of brown rice. Lentils are very good for you and they are cheap to buy and I have some great recipes for them. I evn make homade soups now instead of buying them in the store. I think if you buy stuff to make from sratch you will find it is healthier and cheaper. Like Mom said I shop the outside of the store and try to stay away from the aisles.
