[quote=Anonymous]If you know how to cook you can definitely pay less for healthy food. Family of four here pregnant with #5....we budget 100 a week for food. We do the outside aisles first for produce and dairy and then we work our way in. We do fine on this. If we wanted to, we could of course spend more and maybe get some house favs like smoked salmon or Edys icecream etc but as it is, we all eat really well and in the summer we grow lettuces and some veggies in our container garden so this helps. We are all average size and no processed foods here. if we did we would NEVER be able to stick to 100 a week. We make almost everything from scratch and we do a lot of freezing half recipes for later or pizza doughs etc. It really isnt a big deal and 13 yr old takes leftovers to school so no school lunch issue. We live in DC, zone 5 - no Whole Foods, just Giant or Safeway plus corner shops and a great farmers market. [/quote]
