Many people say, I'd like to eat healthy, but it's expensive; I can't afford it, I have other things I am doing right now, I don't like vegetables/fruit and the list goes on (I have heard it all - so I believe). So to prove that eating healthy is not expensive as society, media and big companies say it is let me share with you what I did today!
First I went to the ATM got $80.00, I shouldn't need any more than this right? Ok, keep reading and you will see.
My first stop was to this stand where I got 3 yellow zucchini, 2 green zucchini, 3 cucumbers, 3 large tomatoes, rhubarb (2.5 lbs), and 4 white potatoes~ Guess how much? $10! In the grocery store this would cost you about $13 (depending on your grocery store).
Then I got two heads of broccoli for ----- $1 each!
I went to another area where I got a pumpkin squash and a yellow flower looking squash for $7.50.
Across the way was another stand where I got
purple beans (yeah strange right!) and 2 eggplants for $5.00.
Then I got some lavender for $4.00
Daisies for $5.50
Amish cheese curds for $6
Bath salts for 1 each! so I got 4 = $4.
And finally I got Sunflowers for $6 (with a free rose)!
A total of ---- (trumpet) --- $49!!! Oh yeah and I stopped by Dunkin Doughnuts and got a coffee and French Cruller (my fav!). So this left me with $31 - 2.75 (Dunkin) = 28.25!
Did this prove to you that you can eat healthy organic wholesome foods and not kill your budget? I sure hope so, because what I am going to do is prepare each of these items I purchased and post the recipe on here.
