Grocery Woes

I'm watching CNBC right now and they are telling me that due to skyrocketing prices, people are buying cheaper foods to save money. Less meat and more macaroni. Less fish and more fish sticks.

I feel for those who are in this predicament (unless they smoke cigarettes and eat Twinkies).

But because of this, if you think obesity in this country is bad now - look out. You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

TIP: A dozen eggs costs less than a box of Cheerios.

A pound of Hamburger meat costs less than a pound of fish sticks.

And let's not forget that the healthier you eat, the less food you need to eat (that is if you want to call Cheerios food).

So realize that nutrient rich foods (meat, fish, eggs, etc.) though at times more expensive, give a family a lot more nutritional bang for your buck.

Eat smart, not cheap.

Thanks for the great information about not skimping on your food. It's a rare find to get the real facts online.

Thanks for the tip. Saving money is a good thing but not to the extend of sacrificing the nutrition aspect of food.

Amen. And a second to Ethyl. Can you get yourself on the Today show to spread that message?? Do one of those buffet tables where they compare what $2.95 can buy you - or what cheaper meat can substitute for filet mignon. You know what I mean. I had eggs, spinach and tomatoes for breakfast. Yum. And probably cost about $1.00 (if that).

Indeed Ethyl - if only...

If only we could get the government, doctors, and nutritionists to stop telling people that Cheerios are a smart food to eat.
