(The Picture is Erik and Deb making some great Hand made pasta...
I just got back from a visit with my grown kids and had a wonderful time with them and their partners. One thing that struck me about the visit is how Brandon said to me that it was so impressive that I eat as well as they do on my little income. I buy only the best food and drink and shop at happy places :) like Whole foods and Sunflower and Natural grocers. I eat better then many of the rich people in the USA and I do not spend that much more. People say to me they cant afford to eat healthy? What is the price of health?
I made decision to eat organic, grass fed foods when I can. I eat locally when I can and eat mainly Paleo. Meats, vegies and fruits, nuts and chocolate! Bit of dairy and a few good oils (olive, coconut and grass fed butter) and I use coconut sugar and local wildflower honey, I drink only the best on occasion. A glass of good red wine etc.....I only eat grains for special occasions (dining out somewhere special etc). If it tastes bad I do not eat it. I waste very little.
You can get flyers from the stores mentioned above and get deals. They had lobster tails at Sunflower for 4 dollars a pound this week! Their meat sales are amazing. Whole foods has the best apples and do have sales as well. I do prefer to spend 25 cents etc a pound more for a great apple that is not mealy. Farmers markets are another place to get good food as well as food co ops etc.
The point is that even on a very limited budget you can eat well and feed your family well. Costco has great values on organic foods in bulk as well...
Ok off to the gym.....:)
