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.

I have always fed my family good healthy food, plus I am a bargain hunter. I try to buy fruit & vegies at the local markets, and at the supermarkets when they are on special. It does cost more, but we cut back in other areas, so we can ensure our kids are getting healthy food. We have never had takeaway food much, so when we do get it, it's a treat for the kids. I don't really understand how the big junk food companies can sell their food for so little.
