The Cost of Health

A lot of people tell me, "Well that's too expensive to eat healthy." To which I reply, it's worth it! Food is our medicine. We don't take any medications, are rarely sick, and eat deliciously. So call me crazy, but we cut back in other areas of our budget so that we can spend more on nutritious foods. 

Many think it's not feasible, but if you truly want health; you'll make it happen! No excuses. 

Some pointers on how to save money while eating clean: 

-know when to buy organic. Organic doesn't always necessarily mean better. EWG has a great guideline for what produce to splurge on organically

-use coupons or shop at stores that have good sales. You'll have to watch the ads and only purchase things when they're on sale. 

-buy things that are in season, they'll generally be cheaper 

-buy local or hit up some of your Amish friends :) I get eggs from my family friends for $2!!! 

-Target's Cartwheel app has 5-10% off on select produce! Try it out :) 

-look into a Costco or Sam's Club membership. You really can save buying in bulk. 

-see if a friend or family wants to go in on buying an entire cow with you from a local farmer. You can usually save money by buying the freezer beef and will always have some on hand! 

-garden! 

Hope this helps, friends!
