When I recently decided to change my eating habits in an attempt to lose some weight and live a healthier lifestyle, I worried that the Health Food stores would put an extra dent in my wallet - but it turned out to be quite the opposite!

I shop at a local fruit shop and get most of my groceries there. I've basically cut out most processed and microwave-ready foods, and that's where I'm saving all of my money. I'd heard friends say that they couldn't "afford" to eat healthy because 99 cent cheeseburgers were all they could get right now, and I feel like throwing 49 cent oranges at them now!

Just spreading the word!

I get fresh veggies from a local farm and also find that they are much cheaper. I am spending significantly less on produce than ever before. Plus, I am eating what's in season! It's wonderful.

I would have never guessed that it would be cheaper. I always seem to spend more money when I am eating all the fresh produce and fruits. I get mine in the grocery store though. They probably triple the price of fresh food.
