I am finding that once we get past the cost of the inital cost of all the new spices, food/meals are lasting a lot longer for us with leftovers because all of the whole grains and raw foods are SO much more filling than the processed stuff. Instead of my teenagers eating three plates of unhealthy stuff, they eat one plate and are full. That means a LOT to me, having five kids, four of whom are teens!! My biggest problem is when recipes get messed up and we end up wasting things!

I tend to spend roughly the same overall but shop more frequently. I buy food every four days for optimum freshness. I also buy certain grains online from stores like nutsonline.com where I can buy them cheaper than I can at local stores.

I don’t find that it more expensive to eat clean, due to saving money by NOT buying other things – chips, ice cream, various dairy, etc. I don’t spend any more than I ever did since I’m only buying fruits, veggies & lean protein, and some whole grains.
