Let's Juice It Goes Shopping

Well I made it to the store today (finally) and took photos and made some videos.  I'm feeling so fantastic and a pair of jeans that I could fit into last week are now comfortable. Yeah, I'm down a size and the new size feels comfortable. I am loving that!

And I came home and made a video.  Then I edited it.  This is an epic day for me cause for years I have wanted to do cool videos, but didn't know how.  Well, today I learned how.

Here's the video I did.  I am so stinking proud of myself!




So today's topic is the price of produce.  It's funny that I used to think that eating a diet of just plants would be more expensive than eating meat.  Boy, was I wrong!  I have spent about $175 for the WHOLE month and I'm juicing even so I am using up even more produce than I would be if I were still just eating!   I remember when I was still eating meat, I would spend at least $100 dollars a week on food. (don't shoot me cause I like food) Now that's a HUGE difference, wouldn't you say?

My advice is to shop around.  Here in New England, the big stores have circulars that I get in the mail of all of their specials so I try to shop those when I can.   Other times I check to see if they have marked down produce. I also buy in bulk as well. For instance, today they had 5 lb bags of  apples for 2.99.  They would have been 1.79 a lbs which is a huge difference in price.

So shop around, juicy fruits!  If I can do this, you can do it too!
