A Healthy Trip To The Grocery Store

It seems as if two of my goals are incongruent: saving money and cooking healthy meals.

I went to the grocery store tonight and picked up a few items. The total came to $24.05. How? I'll break it down here.

Kashi toasted bery cereal: $4.49
Sun Chips: $3.79
Bananas: $1.55
Asparagus: $2.75
Raspberries: $4.89
Red grapes: $6.58

We clearly love our fruits and veggies. But they're so expensive! In years past I always said 'well, fruits aren't THAT expensive. You can get bananas for just 60 cents per pound!' However, when buying so much produce in such quantities it does add up quick. I've heard that Aldi sells produce for cheap (at a loss to the store, actually) but that the quality can be really awful depending on the day of the week.

Tonight I made a wonderful dinner of ham steak and asparagus. It was really fast to prepare and super delicious!
