My first week. O’boy, looking at the menus,if I shopped for all these different foods for one-week, I wouldn’t have storage for them and I’m sure a lot of it would go bad. This would be a problem for me. Willing to give it a try though, lets see what happens.
Hi sndr4,
There’s a widespread myth that eating healthy is more expensive than eating unhealthier processed foods. If you are worried that your grocery list will become more expensive, here are a few tips that will help you reduce the amount of money you spend:
• Try to create a shopping list and stick to it. That way you will not be at risk of buying things you do not need, and over spending.
• Always buy generic or store brands when possible. The quality is often the same—you’re just not paying for advertising.
• Find a good ethnic supermarket. The prices will almost always be better—as will the selection of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, spices and other seasonings—than at your typical supermarket chain.
• Farmer’s markets cut out the middle man so you can buy very high-quality produce from the farmer. Go at the end of the market and ask for a discount on any remaining fruits and vegetables or bread.
• Plan your cooking to create leftovers. It’s easier to cook just 2 or 3 meals a week, rather than 6 or 7: you can freeze and reheat leftovers. You’ll save time, money and power. You can also go even further and cook for the whole month at once.
