I definitely spend more, even though I eat far less, but I think it has more to do with having 19 and 12 year old boys than anything else....lol. If it were just me by myself I would probably barely spend anything on food, I hate having it in the house, because I am afraid I will eat it...
The weeks when the kids (adults, really) eat with me, I don't just increase the cost by me x number of people. The cost goes up a lot more than that!0 -
I spend like $150 at costco / week, and $60 / week at sprouts and I seriously don't know if I'm saving money but I don't have a choice... gotta eat what I gotta eat.0

Save money? Between the cost of healthy eating and the new clothes I've needed I haven't saved anything, probably spent more.0

My food budget has doubled if not tripled. I used to eat just once a day and it was a crappy McDonald's meal for about $3.50. Now I eat 5 or 6 times a day and it is all healthy. It's not a diet for me so much as a way of life now. And holy smokes I feel so much better! No way do I ever want to go back to my "wicked" old ways.0

I spend more money eating healthy then I ever did eating junk food.
^^^ Amen baby!0 -
I actually spend WAY more money than I ever have on groceries now that I'm making healthier choices.. Unfortunately.
Stony feild organic 10oz smoothie - 1.89
2 Liter of cola - 99 cents
Large container of greek yogurt 5.99
Large bag of potato chips.. 2.99
just some silly examples i remember off the top of my head.. anyway....
I also switched to turkey products instead of beef and they are SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE!0 -
I find I spend MORE eating healthy than I did when I was eating junk.0

I spend much more eating healthfully than I did before.0
-
I have yet to see a .99 cent healthy menu.0

I don't think I'm saving anything because I'm spending more money on working out, like zumba classes and bikram yoga (yoga is so expensive!). AND I have to spend money to buy new clothes. Buy hey, I'm not complaining0

Wouldn't that be great? Never going to happen though. :frown:0 -
Not sure but I don't go out as much as I used to and don't drink nearly as much. I'm guessing I'm saving quite a bit.0

More but its tastier. Ive found shopping at the markets helps. But seafood though it has done wonders for my skin, is expensive. And inviting people over to dinner is more expensive than eating out but i love the hospitality that comes with it. Gym is also more expensive but im sure its saving on medical bills long term.0

I have saved a little money not buying so many 'snacks' - mostly for my boyfriend who still eats them but is now recently decided he's getting a little gut (he's a twig) and should snack less.
Unfortunately anything that I have /might have saved has gone to activities to help me stay active in the winter0 -
Id say i spend more, since its more expensive for healthier food0
-
what. i spend so much money eating healthy its absurd.0

Food-wise, our budget is about the same (maybe a hair more if there's pricey fish involved or something). But replacing an entire wardrobe multiple times for the 5 sizes I am down has cost a small fortune (even at goodwill). No savings here...0
