This subject has been rattling around in my brain as of late............
Is cheap food really all that cheap?
I have a cyber friend who creates and posts awesome low carb recipes. She also has had to deal with extremely serious health issues in her family and, I assume, is still paying off large medical expenses. Needless to say, she is always watching for food bargains at the store, uses coupons constantly, buys in bulk, etc.
She recently started blogging about her shopping trips and the good bargains she finds.
But is she really doing herself and her family a disservice?
She has raved about $.99 a pound hamburger.
A few years ago, I would have grabbed that as well. Today? No way. Where did that meat really come from and what is really in that package? Pink slime?
Here are further thoughts on the subject.
