The cost factor is a big concern I have. As I know everyone has a food budget, however I have a very tight food budget. As I quote a commerical, there is no budge in my budget.
With that said- I have spurlged on my budget, and I am trying to come up with more creative ways to eat healthy on a real budget.
I try to only buy my veggies at a farmers market. why, because the cucumbers, green/yellow/red peppers,onions, and garlic is much cheaper there. For example a local supermarket had the multi colored pre-backed peppers (6 to a pkg) for 4.99. At my farmers market they have run from 2 for 1.50. The package peppers run 83 cents each while the farmers market run 75 cents. And it is much easier to budget 1.50 than it is 4.99. Which leads me to wonder-why don't super markets have bogo's on veggies and fruits it is always 2 for..and it is a savings. However the bogo's are white rice, regular starchy pasta and bread. All the stuff that literaly will stick to your ribs. I dont want anything to stick to my ribs, just keep me full.
At any rate, my food budget is high, working on receipes that can work as next day take to lunch leftovers or round 2 dinners. Next blog..what's for dinner. I will try to provide pixs.
