we do treats rarely but not this time, but we do buy sodas...
i bought 12 2 liter dr.peppers which will last about 1 1/2 weeks i drink 3 to 4 liters a day by myself of dr.pepper.

so maybe there is my splurge money on the ticket.

no chips ... occasional preztels and a rare french onoin dip for them

no cakes we will make pies or brownies about 3 -7 times a year.

a lot of fresh fruits and vegitables these are as expensive as steak at times...

Does it really cost more to eat healthy?

I don't believe so, unless of course one buys free range meats and dairy products which are very expensive. Basics like fruit, vegetables and pulses are very cheap wherever you live.

A dish made of lentils. vegetables and a little ham if you eat meat. is much cheaper than an unhealthy McDonalds meal.

I just eat once a day........from 5 to 11 p.m. (lol) I probably spend around $300 to $350. But I drink a lot of soft drinks. One of my New Year's goals is to cut down on soft drinks.

That's what I'm guessing for myself. Maybe a little less, not sure. Thanks.

seriously
thats an excuse and a myth

i eat meat
and vegetables and i guess as i think about it-nothing really preprocessed
lots of nuts and greens and cheese

i broil
i cook
not always
i learned

ive come to get honest w/ myself and apply the rule that if its my priority
i will act like it.

love is an action
self love is a discipline

i say for me the change has been worth it in immeasurable ways



mmmmmlentils


i get lots of recipes off the internet..dunno

ive become a real square

Ah well I live in Spain most of the time so I'm talking about our lovely cured ham which contains more protein than fresh ham and has been proven to reduce cholesterol.

A dish of lentils veg and a little cured ham would cost me less than a euro here (significantly less than a McDonalds) so I guess what I said earlier about where you live and what you choose to eat has a bearing on all this.

I have a friend like that. He eats 6 meals a day and never gains a pound. He is fairly inactive as well.

Not sure how I got so addicted to cokes...but I go thru an amazing amount in a week. Always have one with me. It's not so much about the $, but I could put the $ in a better place than my tum-tum... (Maybe my grandaughter's college fund?) applause


Back to iced tea~~~I guess applause

I'm not sure about the euro thing, but here, milk costs $3.50 a gallon-more expensive than gas, and eggs are right around $2.40 a carton of just regular ones. The prices are outrageous...I thought that fresh ham was pork?

As for McDonalds, you can get a double cheeseburger for a dollar, but after watching "supersize me", I quit that one quick!!!

Cola is addictive. Since I switched to caffeine free Pepsi, I'm down to 1 a day.
