This comes to you at a time when we are experiencing alarmingly high prices for food at the stores. Take some control back of your budget as well as your healthy food choices. You CAN do both! For years I’ve been trying to make the way that I prefer to eat be more economical. Even when I ate predominantly cooked food, it was important that everything was from scratch, from as many local sources as possible and organic. I had always heard people saying that if more people bought organic, the prices would go down. Well, I’ve been choosing organic foods since about 1991 and it hasn’t gotten cheaper, in fact, here in VT it’s quite expensive, more so than when we lived in the DC metro area, Silicon Valley and NJ. Organic food can sometimes equate to “gourmet” food and that drives the cost up.
This e-guide book is laid out in easy bulleted format with many tips within tips! Please read carefully and use this as a guide for your own use in your daily life.

Product Description:
This is a 24-page e-guide book that includes TIPS within TIPS for ways to create a more economical and hopefully sustainable way of eating & living for you. These are primarily tips for making raw food but these have been adapted from my "from scratch" lifestyle that we've created since having kids.

In case you are wondering what I spend on food: As of this writing, I spend on average about $500-750/month and this is for a family of four AND for the food I make for stores and individuals.

From the e-guide book:
"I always hear that the raw food diet is so much more expensive and I don't agree and obviously I think that a lot can be done to minimize costs. Ultimately, to me, it is a greater cost to the earth and its people to be eating highly processed and chemical-laden foods. I know that the prices for things like cacao and nuts/seeds can be quite alarming when you begin to incorporate more raw foods into your diet. There are many ways to rethink these things.

"First of all, if you were ever a meat eater, you’re basically just exchanging the cost of meat to the cost of raw food ingredients (particularly if you were eating certified organic meats.) Another way to think of this is that you are spending money on good quality food that will keep you healthier and hopefully will mean that you’ll be spending less on prescription drugs and visits to the doctors. A couple I know in the DC area said they started eating more raw foods when they turned 50 because they didn’t have insurance and didn’t want to have major medical bills like they were seeing in their friends/family.

"Obviously we cannot predict the future, but we can certainly do our part to make sure we put the best food we can into our bodies (our bodies are our temples and we are what we eat). We can do our best to move our bodies each day to get exercise. We can do the best we can to make healthier choices when we purchase/grow food and hopefully by utilizing these tips, we will reduce the amount of money we spend each month and we'll create really healthy habits that will benefit others as well as ourselves."
