Default Re: Eating whole foods on a budget

I totally agree with Slapshot. The savings of the carbs I no longer buy offset the cost of the good, healthy food. I also don't have to spend (waste) money on things like antacids or zantac!

For savings, buy larger packages of steaks, chicken, etc. (usually at a cheaper price per lb.) and freeze in portions at home. Use this time of year to search out farmers' markets in your area.

Hope this helps.
