Today is Farmer’s Market day, one of my
favorites. The farmers are awesome, their food is great, and it is affordable!
As I wrote in Stressful
Times and Eating Healthy , money is
very tight for my family of three. We are watching almost every nickel and
hoping to pay all of our bills.
The one thing I will always spend money on is our food. I do not buy all organic, as it isn’t necessary in the case of some fruits and veggies, but our food will always be non-GMO, free range, hormone-free and antibiotic free. I very rarely buy any fresh food from the store…the Farmer’s Market has almost all that I want.
My weekly food budget is below. By making
broth with meat bones and using that broth in bean and rice dishes, we can
stretch our money pretty darn far. Our one “luxury” is honey. We would have a
hard time drinking our kefir smoothies without it, but I imagine we will adjust
if we have to.
We keep the costs low and the quality
exceptionally high by American standards. Comparing our weekly food budget to
much of the rest of the world magnifies our gratefulness that we are privileged
to eat the food that we do.
