Saving Money On Produce

Affordable Organic Produce On A Budget Article
Raederle On Eat Live; Live Well Radio Show
How can an average person with an average income afford to eat healthier when produce is so expensive?
Listen to this short twenty minute episode to find out: Fresh Produce on A Budget.
Here is how we manage it on a small budget:
We combine all of the following cost-cutting methods. We eat mostly organic so the prices we mention are the prices on organic produce. We believe eating organic is important for our health, and to the planet. Long-term we're saving money by avoiding illness.

Local Produce

  • Local Farm Stands (out in the sticks)
  • Farmer's Markets
  • Pick Your Own
  • C.S.A.: Community Supported Agriculture

Bulk Produce

  • Order online (raw kelp noodles, raw carob powder, organic toilet paper)
  • Order large volumes through a store that gives discounts

Bruised Produce

  • Seek discounts on bruised fruit or wilted greens

Grow Your Own Food

  • Indoor aerogarden or potted herbs
  • Sprouts
  • Outdoor garden
  • Eat free weeds
  • Plant a fruit tree

Some Notes

We went off on a bit of rant about the amazing power of weeds during this episode. Jay and I have been astounded at the power of growing weeds (for a better garden) and eating weeds (for better health). Weeds are free, hardy, and all around beneficial.
We learned about what weeds are safe to eat and the medicinal properties of weeds growing all over the United States in every kind of climate in a powerful DVD set by Markus Rothkranz. It's been a huge bargain to buy the disc set because we save money every day of the summer by harvesting healing food that is growing right in our own back yard.
To get this amazing deal for yourself, visit Markus's website.
Hope this helps you save money on your grocery bill! In the Summer of 2012 we've been able to feed the two of us a healthy nutritionally balanced raw food diet that is 95% organic for under $400 per month, including probiotics. That is only $200 per person, per month, for a 95% organic, 100% raw vegan diet with probiotics included. Our organic C.S.A. membership was indispensable in reaching this incredibly affordable summer.

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-
Image
  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an asto...

How can you get enough protein on a raw vegan diet? A raw vegan diet does not contain any: Meat Dairy Eggs Fish Beans (unless sprouted raw) Rice (unless soaked and consumed raw) So where does the protein come from? Michelle Battermann Michelle (pictured to the right) is a raw vegan fitness champion. (She mentioned to me personally that she hates the fake tan, but that it is required for body building competitions so that muscle definition stands out when you're under bright lights on the stage.) How does Michelle get such a strong muscular body when she eats a purely raw and vegan diet? Raw Vegan Protein The raw vegan diet provides protein predominantly in its basic form; amino acids. And it provides plenty of it. [1] Do meat-eaters build muscle faster than vegetarians? The simple answer is: No. If adequate minerals, protein, vitamins, exercise, etc, are present, muscle building is the s...
