The Cost of Healthy Food

I realize that by some standards we are very picky about our food, we will pay more for subtle difference in taste. However, we are still a family of 5 on one income, so we can only indulge those preferences to a degree. There is a notable reduction in spending on meat and cheese. Milk is a draw since we were buying organic before, and Josh really likes the brand name almond milk.

We have always opted for the organic produce when price was anywhere near close, but but some items are just always more expensive when organic. And, there is no telling what mix of organic produce will be available. This limits our ability to plan ahead with a list.

Bottom line, we are spending the same on groceries, but when you factor in the savings in school lunches, and the inconvenience of eating out, we might end up ahead.
