My outlook on food
I have always been one to seek out good, healthy food at the lowest cost.
As a child, I was fortunate enough to have grandparents who had a huge garden for a hobby. I grew up with fruits and vegetables that I have
yet to see in a grocery store produce aisle.
When planning the weekly grocery trip, my mother would tell us: "read the label" and "use coupons wisely". She also extolled the good sense in saving
money whenever one could.
My grandparents and mother have passed on, but today I still mind my coupons and read the labels and aim for the healthiest diet I can get. You'd be surprised at where (and how) the food on your grocer's shelves gets there. Some folks won't buy "off brand" or "store brand" food, which baffles me, as the majority of these non-mainstream brands are produced by the "big name brands" and just packaged in a different skin.
This section will highlight various and sundry ways to save money and/or eat well.
