Healthy Eating

I hear this statement all the time:

"I'd really like to eat healthy, but its just way too expensive."

I used to think this too, until I actually took a trip to the grocery store and discovered that fresh fruit is actually a lot less expensive than you think. Also, when you eat these fresh fruits and vegetables, you really don't need as much food as you usually think you do.

I picked up the following today in order to make myself parfaits this week:

1.92 lb of Red Seedless grapes - $2.86
1.09 lb of Bananas - $0.60
1 large container of Strawberries - $1.50
1 large container of Blueberries - $1.50
1 32 oz. container of low fat vanilla yogurt - $2.00

TOTAL: $8.46

plus if you want to throw some granola on all that, and an extra 5 bucks for a huge box of granola. You're lookin' at the ability to make a lot of large parfaits. In comparison to McDonald's $1 parfaits, you could easily make 13 of them, if not more, and they'd be much better for you.

Also, a while back I bought a loaf of bread for 2 bucks, a jar of peanut butter for 4 (tops), and you have yourself a lot of peanut butter sandwiches, which are full of protein and carbs - necessary for life.

So I'm just saying its not as hard as everyone thinks it is.
