Healthy Eating and the Grocery Budget

I went grocery shopping with my husband this afternoon and spent over $100. We usually spend around $50 so doubling the bill was a total shock. I wasn't expecting to spend that much but healthy foods are more expensive. We shopping the perimeter for most things but there were a few things on the aisles we needed. I did take the time to read labels and pick the healthier choice so hopefully it will pay off.

It seems so much easier to eat the processed foods due to convenience and most of them run Buy One Get One Free often so you are never paying full price for the items. They also offer coupons for the convenience items.

I know I need to change my mindset and my grocery cart definitely looked different today. Hopefully I will be able to stick to this.

I should also add I am going to make a few homemade recipes that should come healthy and I will post about them in the near future. I can't wait to experiment with my foods!
