My husband and I ate on a budget of $70 per week ($280 per month) for about 2 years during college. We included salads, cheap fruit if any, conventional frozen chicken breasts, canned beans, and whole grain bread with peanut butter trying to be as healthy as possible, at least what I thought at the time. I ended up getting an autoimmune condition, candida overgrowth and dysbiosis of my gut. Since, I have spent more money on supplements, organic everything, cut wheat, sugar, dairy, grains, etc. and spent so much on doctor bills and tests. It's great to save on food where you can, but don't ever compromise your health on the food you buy. Food is nutrition and is an investment for your health. There definitely are ways to save on healthy foods, such as be picky about where you shop, what you buy, etc. But I learned my lesson and will invest in healthy food because prevention and health are too important.

Completely agree. I ate poorly for years thinking I couldn't afford the "good stuff." My health fell apart and I did a complete redo. I eat organic vegetables and cut out most of what you did. I do some dairy. Processed foord went out the window and I experimented with more stuff in the produce aisle. I totally skip the middle rows cept for my occasional coffee and cereal or ice cream(I choose one or another for a bad treat) every now and then. My health has drastically improved. No longer pre-diabetic, no more cholesterol meds. You offered great advice.

The same ideas but invest in starch fillers (beans, rice, potatoes, pasta) as well. Adding them to soups and meals helps to stretch things and still fill up hungry boys. Eggs with breakfast and skip the expensive cereal. Cereal is gone within the day around here! Pancakes and meat (eggs or sausage) in the mornings is more filling, plus you can make pancakes ahead and reheat them on busy mornings.

I recently started ordering my groceries from Walmart, there is no up charge on itema. I can get what I need, keep track of how much I'm spending, it's on an app (so I walk through my kitchen and add things to the cart), and I pick it up for free, so I never buy what I don't need. It's been a lifesaver since I'm going through a divorce right now.

@MochaZilla 5 лет назад

If youre in debt, i see the need to cut expenses in any way possible. The only issue i have with cutting grocery expenses is that i like to eat high quality food such as grass fed beef, local eggs from local farmers, and a wide assortment of organic fruits and veggies. For my wife and i to eat high quality like this, we could never spend only 350 a mo th for the two of us. Its usually between 550-700 a month. But we eat out a lot less anf cook all the time. I think people need to spend more on their food since it is related to their health and wellbeing and learn to spend less on entertainment and other non as imporant items. A lot of this also has to do with where you live. I live in ND and it is very expdnsive to get quality fresh fruits and veggies since everything has to be shipped here and the growing season is so short.

For me, eating the cleanest, most organic foods possible is my number one priority. This will save hundreds of not thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost work hours and illness as we age. My husbands I will do without a second vehicle, or cable TV and vacations but I will not do without nutrient-rich, clean foods. We are age 76 and 71 and very active and one of the main reasons is because we eat so healthy.
