I’ve heard, read and see people say, it cost too much money to lose weight and be healthy.

My sister even said it to me one time.

Me: ” If you want to go grocery shopping one day let me know”

My sister: “Its too expensive to eat healthy”

First off that’s a EXCUSE , just want to put that out there but I do agree that some of these diet specialty foods and stores are expensive. I bought flax seeds from a fancy-smanchy store that cost me $16 and I saw it somewhere else for $7. So keep it simple,get the basics and it won’t be expensive.

BUT

If you are willing to spend $28.64 on

-1 Large pizza

-2 litter soda

-10  spicy wings

You could have ate healthy for a whole week with that:

Walk with me through our  virtual grocery store:

You have been given $28.64 now lets shop for a 5 day work week ideas listed below: 

1. 1 bag of chicken on sale is about $6 (Bake, Grill or Stew) ( Dinner or Lunch)
2. Turkey Bacon cost $3( Breakfast or lunch)
3. Broccoli bunches- $2 ( Dinner or Lunch)
4. Cabbage-$2 (Dinner or Lunch)
5. Bag of apples-$2 (Snack)
6. 4 Oranges-$2 (Snack)
7. 4 Grapefruit-$2 (Snack)
8. Brown rice- $2(Dinner or Lunch)
9. Cucumbers-$2 (Snack)
10. Bag of Baby Carrot-$1 (Snack )
11. Bag of wheat bread-$1 (Toast, breakfast )
12. Eggs-$3 (Fry, boil, scramble, omelet, breakfast)

That totals: $28.00 and 64 cents to spare well don’t forget taxes

Point is

• Think about what you spend on one fast food meal eating out versus if you would have taken that money to the grocery store
• You can eat on a budget if you plan and stick to what you have
• It can get expensive if you buy all these dietary fancy foods but if you keep it simple you can eat for under $30 for a whole week

Do you think eating healthy is expensive? What are some ways you budget to eat healthy?
