In the LONG run, eating right IS cheaper.
After you've eaten a nutritious meal, you'll much less likely to want to gnosh an hour later because your body is satiated.
Throw in the fact that the food you've eaten isn't slowly poisoning you, and the long term consequences are very beneficial.
Don't BUY preprepared foods! They've got too much salt, they're usually ramped up with sugars, they're too expensive and they're lacking in real nutrition compared to the same think you made from scratch.
I buy a lot of food every week, and I a demon comparison shopper, too.
The price of milk has dropped nearly a buck a gallon in the last few months.
I note the price of bread is also declining. Progresso Soups (which had gone up 33% in one year) are all on sale now.
I'm seeing things on sale all over the food pyrimid (exception? bananas!)
CRAP food (cookies, crackers, candy, icecream and the like) continues to remain higher in price, but I see some pressure on the pricing of that stuff, too.
I'm 58 years old. I eat whatever I want whenever I want it, and as much as I want.
I have the same waist size I had in high school, folks. That's right, I weigh the same I weighed then, and I was in great shape then, too.
I never excercise.
When we eat junk food, our bodies crave more junk food.
When you get used to not eating crap, your body doesn't crave crap.
Learn to cook for crimminies sakes, folks.
Convenience foods are usually crap.
Buy more expensive foods and in the long run, your food bills will go down.
But good bread, not cheap bread, for example.
Good bread has protiens and nutrients and mineral you need, and cheap bread has starch and pretty much nothing else except the crap they inject into it which you body really can't metabolize.
