re the shopping article I dont know how it works in the US but I buy all my fruit and veg at the farmers market.

With the fruit I puree some of and freeze it and add it to make my own shakes.

With the veg I blanche it yes you lose a small amount of the goodness but hardly any and freeze it too. That lasts me a couple of weeks and is a darn site cheaper. I also buy meat wholseale from a farmer direct too works out a heck of a lot cheaper.

Would have emailed you but its 2 am and Im knackered!

The only tips I have for buying healthy food cheaper.

1. Like BFG, buy at the farmer's market. It's often fresher and requires some sort of immediate action, like in BFG's tip. Worth it, though. You find unusual varieties of fruits and veggies that you wouldn't find at the store, too.

2. CostCo. HUGE bags of spinach and brocolli. Frozen salmon and other fish. Good deals on bags of avacados and colored bell peppers. Not impressed by their fruit, though. It tastes fine, just not always a good value. Fish oil caps (400 for $9.00). Protein powder (6lbs for $25).
