Grocery shopping - KA-CHING!!

Boy, you can sure understand how & why people end up eating less than healthy food in this country! I went grocery shopping this afternoon - primarily for fruits to make up a fruit salad - and decided to also check out some other low-cal options. After spending NINETY DOLLARS!!! on what is largely short-life, perishable items, I'm definitely seeing the value of fast / junk food - it's cheap, it's largely filling, it's easy to make....

Still, we're in this for the long haul, and eating better is a good portion of losing the weight we need to lose. So fruit salad, salads, fresh fruits, here we come!

PS I could not resist the sugar-free Angel Food cake though... but at only 60 calories per slice, it really can't be all that bad, right?!

  1. We definitely feel your pain. We have had to get really creative to keep a food budget while going healthy. Good luck to you all!
