alexislives I agree that eating well is worth the cost, but I believe it’s a misconception that it’s more expensive than eating junk. I think you can eat healthy meals without breaking the bank at the grocery store, and it looks like you’re doing just that yourself! :)

Suburban Finance Awesome! I think that’s great – but as a full-time vegetarian, I may be a little biased ;)

seedebtrun I agree they can cost more per item than the processed foods – and if you’re buying both high-quality produce and a lot of processed food items, your grocery bill is going to be pretty high. What I was suggesting was to only purchase whole foods, and avoid the processed products 100%. In my experience, at least, this has helped keep our total when we check out lower than trying to eat healthy by buying fresh produce, but still indulging in snacks and sodas. Buying only whole foods does require a little more effort in the way of meal planning and knowing what you’re going to make out of all your ingredients, but for us it’s been worth it because I know we’re eating better and it’s cheaper than including convenience foods like chips, cookies, and ready-to-eat meals like frozen pizzas or dinners in a box.

BorrowedCents I know it’s hard to work out what the right portion is. I’m a runner, so it’s hard not for me to use that as an excuse to go crazy at every meal! I’ve found that after I was very disciplined about eating the correct amount and not going back for seconds for about a week, it just became a habit to not overload my plate. I think it’s like most other things – practice will make perfect :)
