Am I the only one that has noticed that it is cheaper to buy junk food or fast food for your family then it is to buy healthy foods?
I want my children eating healthy fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and fish, but the costs keep getting higher and higher that it is harder everyday to cook healthy meals. To help I have turned my garden into a vegetable garden but that isn't the solution for all of us.

Yip it is true! The manufacturers know how to get their monies worth. They know that people like healthy, so they slap on the price knowing that people will buy it anyway because of how good it is for them.

Having your own vege garden is the best, shopping at markets is great or maybe that vege man on the side of the road if you have any in your area, they are cheap and good food.

Go fishing every now and then as a fun family outing and maybe some yummy fish to top off a good day. Do you know a farmer who sells meat? (Legally of cause) This could be cheaper than going to the shops.
