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.

Its not really if you put some thought into it. I just got a huuuuge box of fruit and veg for $25 today, and best of all it was delivered to my home for free!!!
Some junk might be cheap, but its empty calories.....it doesnt fill you up.
We also buy our meat from a factory outlet butcher, it is much cheaper and tastes 1000 times nicer than supermarket rubbish!!!
