Cost of Health

I have been thinking about the cost of health.  I've always thought that eating healthy cost a lot of money. Lately it seems even more so.  It's been a while back but the store had peaches.  They looked so good.  They were $3.98 a pound.  How can you buy fresh when it cost so much.  I guess you then have to weigh it against the cost of medical problems if your not at good health.  Why can't it all just be so simple. 

I have a nephew with a journey to health blog, also.  He reminded me that we buy healthier if we shop the outside of the store.  What a good reminder.

I went and got a Bountiful Basket today.  If you haven't heard about this program you can go to their blog, www.bountifulbaskets.org.  So for $15 this is what I brought home.

1 head of leaf lettuce                        5 bananas
2 heads of broccoli                           1 carton of strawberries
bag of grapes                                    5 baking potatoes
1 yellow squash                                4 apples
5 plums                                             4 tomatoes
2 red peppers

Living in a small town, I know their are some that won't buy from Bountiful Baskets because it takes away from our own store.  I feel that all it does is free up my budget a bit to buy things that I might not always have the money to buy.  I'll probably end up at the store today to buy a few more things to make a great salad.

So maybe it isn't so expensive to eat healthy.  You just have to be committed and be creative.
