But let me explain- we eat really healthy foods which may cost more but compared to prepared foods, sodas, junk food etc it's probably a lot cheaper. I rarely eat anything that's not made from scratch.
I look at it as fuel for my body. I'll skimp on something else.
I've already cut most everything else - food is my big budget buster right now and I cook so little (always on the go) that I wasn't sure if I was even being realistic when planning my budget. But thank you.
Please understand- we are all on different paths- right now I am able do what I do. My life is probably different from yours.
I'm not on the go as much as I used to be. I think you're definitely on the right track. What I told you is important in the sense that a lot of people think organic, fresh, etc is so costly. It's not when you look at the whole picture, as others have said. Hope this makes sense and good luck :)
You sound like a smart young woman to me :thumbup:
