Today I went to the grocery store to stock up on all the wonderful things that are going to help with the diet I am now on. Much to my dismay I found that the "diet" and "low-fat/no-sugar" items were so much higher! For so long I have conditioned myself to buy cheap groceries and today I was shocked to find out how much some items cost! I am a HUGE coupon person and I did save $33 with my coupons, but my bill was still higher than I am used to. We typically spend $120 every two weeks at the grocery. Tonight I spent $150 for my two week supply. Is it any wonder that many working middle class and low income families are a bit over-weight? In foreign countries the poor are skinny because they are starving, yet here in the good ole' USA our poor are larger due to high fat and artificial ingredient content! Just had to vent on my sticker shock tonight!!

I'm right there with ya! I have always said it is costs ridiculous amounts to eat healthy! I love fresh fruits and veggies, but who can afford them...vent away sister, vent away!! ;o)
I agree, too. Everytime I go to the grocery there are things I buy everytime and they keep getting higher and higher.
