why does everyone think eating healthy is expensive? it was the cheapest lifestyle change our family could've made..... I'm kind of, in a weird way, thankful my husband got diagnosed with diabetes last year. it's made us so much healthier.... he lost 45lbs no problem, and I lost all my baby weight (over 50lbs) and we save so much $$ on foods. I exercise with baby and he rides his bike to work and got a gym membership recently to bulk up extra.... It has to be just an excuse.

What do you all eat, usually?

last night we had a baked sweet potato (a tiny bit of butter) a pork tenderloin and peas. I actually had leftover pork today so I had that for lunch and probably half a cup worth of yogurt.... but I had a bell pepper, a banana and a string cheese for breakfast.... I have no clue what dinner is tonight cause I don't cook, but I'll let you know when my husband gets off work @tahtahme probably a meat that's on sale and work around that

it's expensive having to always buy fresh veggies aside from frozen veggies because they don't last long, that's what I meant other wise if it lasted lobger it's cheap

@mrsmoore, frozen is perfectly fine though, and canned is too... we usually only buy what we need of fresh each day, but salad stuff we only need to buy once a week and we can make a salad every day off of it. that usually gets used way before it has a chance to get fuzzy

It really is. Buy seasonal fruits and you can get a huge bag of veggies and then freeze them. Meat seems expensive but when you leave out soda, chips, juice and all that you can afford to eat healthier! And plan out the meals and you're set!

@kattastrophe, true I like frozen over canned, but like it fresh as well,

@mommastone, that's a good point you made about seasonal things!! I bet that's where people are overspending!! apples in the fall, citrus in the fall/winter, strawberries in spring, peaches and nectarines in summer. I don't think it's really common knowledge, but I think everyone should know! it would save everyone a lot of money!

I do frozen mostly. Most canned veggies are gross to me in comparison. Also ya, try buying an apple out of season. it will be $4! @mrsmoore @mommastone @kattastrophe

@tahtahme, most produce doesn't taste as good out of season anyways. they have to pick it before it's ripe so it can ripen in transit.... tough skin, less sweet, piffy, yuck!
