Whole Foods on a Budget from According to Lia

Lia says:

I am unapologetic when I say that we spend a lot of money on food. I firmly believe that a quality diet is some of the best preventative medicine out there and as the old saying goes “you are what you eat”. Despite my commitment to quality, the limitations of our budget prevent me from spending freely. During the warm summer months we are lucky enough to have a beautiful farmer’s market in town. Unfortunately, as the months turn cold there are less options for delicious produce and Whole Foods becomes a more frequent stop. Of course Whole Foods is notoriously expensive and often referred to as “Whole Pay Check”. While I realize that it is far from the cheapest option I will say that it doesn’t have to be outrageously expensive. With a little strategy you can get in and out of Whole Foods with enough money leftover to pay your rent.
