Default Re: Eating whole foods on a budget

LagNomAI,
Do you have an Aldi's near you? I find that I can save alot of money on produce and meat and cheeses by shopping there. I have found also, I spend more BUT because the food is more filling, and I eat less because I am not craving and eating all day long like when I ate carb filled junk, the food lasts longer. I don't waste a thing. I use vac bags and freeze alot for lunches. If I find my fresh veggies are getting to old to eat fresh I will cook them. I also take advantage of store sales, our Giant Eagle has been having by one get one free on roasts, steaks, turkey breasts. I saved 85 dollars one day. Turkey breasts BOGO, I bought two, got two free, stuck it in the freezer. Walmart has some really good steaks in a box, 6 new york strips for 10.88. Hope that helps.
