When you do buy food, try adding lots of eggs. They are VERY healthy & an actual super food. Good luck to you!

I love eggs, but they are WAY too expensive. we usually get a few at the pantry. But no way to afford $3 a dozen

😏 They have gone back down here where I'm at. They had gotten outrageous at one time! Now, I can get 60 for under $8.

It's ashamed that eating healthy costs so much...smh! 😪 I would love to eat grass-fed & organic, but I can't afford it.

Since you have a farm, maybe try to find a few chickens and let them free range. You can find people giving them away lots of times in Facebook chicken lovers groups.

You are not poor my dear. You are rich because you have a 'hubby' to walk with you and others that supports you. But most of all you own land and property and all these things make you far from poor. I love your determination to stay the course with your weight loss.

I hear you on the food choices. That is really difficult! So glad you are focusing on activities to do during the day. Having a plan and getting out of the house can go a long way to helping cut down on eating. It's really hard to say no if the food is always beckoning you from the other room. You're doing great, PK! 💚

Could you plant a garden to help get some healthy things without spending too much? I live on a farm and grow onions, radishes, potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, jalapenos, tomatoes, and sweet corn. I go to food giveaways too and know what you mean about the food not being healthy. I think it's too bad the food pantries can't give out healthy food to help the poor people that need assistance eat better.

I can relate. We are both retired and on a fixed income. We have always been frugal as a way of life. We enjoy the challenge.

I was also thinking that having a farm is such an asset. You can farm chickens and have raised bed gardens that reduce the physical labor. Some people do co-ops for free labor in exchange for harvesting from your farm. You can ask around your family, friends, and neighborhood. I've met people who farm trout as well.

I'm on a budget too and eat cheap. The first two cheap, healthy/healthier foods I eat that come to mind are eggs ($0.98 for a dozen at my local Aldi) and toast with peanut butter and (light) honey. It's good with dark chocolate chips added too!

Hey! Sounds like you have a good plan going! I look for sales and expiring things that are marked down. We use canned chicken a lot because it is less expensive. I compare prices online and get the least expensive and I use coupons!
