My healthy budget goal is to eat seasonal, home-cooked meals while sticking to a $400 monthly budget for all food including groceries, dining out, entertaining, vitamins/supplements, and spices/herbs. There’s two of us eating 3 (mostly) meals per day. My husband occasionally eats take-out lunch at work, & that $ comes out of his personal cash [...]

Organic Whole Chickens – One Day Sale at Whole Foods Market
This Friday, Whole Foods Market is having a great sale on organic whole chickens – $1.99/lb. I called my local store and they are specifically selling chickens rated Step #3 on their 5-step animal welfare rating system. No, Step #3 is not as wonderful as step #4 which is “fully pastured” but it’s much better [...]

Whole Foods – Took a Month Off
My last visit to Whole Foods was Friday, 9/2/11. I am really hoping that I’m able to last a full month, without visiting the store, and so far I’m winning that challenge. The most difficult part has been finding organic USA-grown nuts for snacks. I ended up buying some River Queen brand unsalted peanuts at [...]
Ground Grass Fed Beef at Whole Foods Disappointing
I’m disappointed with the ground grass fed beef I bought at the last big sale from Whole Foods. It’s supposed to be 90%, but it’s been awfully greasy/fatty when cooked. I don’t know what cut of beef they are starting with, but I don’t think it’s up to the quality of prior purchases when it [...]

I roasted a chicken [...]
