Why is healthy food so expensive? I need help!?!
I have a problem with carbs, my body overreacts to them and makes me hungry all the time! So I bought health food, for some low carb recipes, so I can lower my intake of carbs!. (lots of vegetables, turkey, eggs!.) It came up to over $100, and it was only for me!
The recipes worked like a charm!. I feel so great, but is there anyway I can save money while eating healthy!?
Any healthy recipes that are lower carb that are cheap!?
Any techniques you use to keep produce fresher longer!?
Any ideas you have on how to stretch that dollar and still eat healthy!?
Thank you for your help!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Healthy food doesn't have to be expensive!. Buy frozen vegetables, canned fruits in their own juice (not syrup!!), beans, salad greens, and limit your use of meat because that's expensive!. Instead you could use tofu, eggs, etc!. which are much cheaper!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
We eat very little meat and that has saved a tremendous amount on our grocery bill!. You can get protein from beans and eggs and other foods!. A vegetable salad is also healthy - without meat it's cheap!. Just think of how the early Chinese Americans used to eat - next to no meat at all!. They were healthy and had very low food bills!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
anything that is healthy, and organic is going to be expensive!. because!.!.not that it is harder to make, but because it doesnt sell as well!. fat america!.
do not shop at grocery stores!.!.shop at wal-mart grocery!.!.they are MUCH cheaper and you can get twice the food for the same price!. yes even healthy food!. basically, all you need to do to cut carbs is not eat so much bread, or pasta, or things with sugar in them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just take the money out of another part of your budget!. That's what I do!. less TV channels = more organic food!. It really is worth it, especially if your feeling so much better!. I spend $100 a week for food for myself alone but in return I am healthier and happier all the time and that is worth much much more!. I also have to avoid carbs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You need carbs!. Your base should be fruits,vegetables,whole grain pastas,rice,and cereals,and fish and/or beans!. Meat is really bad for you!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I know, totally unfair: $3!.99 for a pound of organic grapes and 99 cents for a box of mellowmars! Www@FoodAQ@Com
The easiest way I have found to contribute to eating healthy on a budget is to start your own mini garden!. Even if it's just an herb garden!. The money you save on just a few easy plants like tomatoes or squash is amazing!. All you need is a bit of sun, water, and a terra cotta pot!. Herbs are great and can last year round!. Fresh, organic basil is amazing to have all year =)!. All it takes is some seeds!. Another way to stretch your dollar is to shop at your local farmers market!. More times than not, they can give you a great price on veggies!. Oh and eat seasonally!. Out of season fruits and veggies tend to be more expensive and not really very good!. You'd be better off spending the money elsewhere!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
