Foodie Unite,

Logistics

procuring your supply of food is sometimes rather mindless at the store if your shopping for the same old chips and soda, but it can also be fun and make you think,
if you have a recipe it can be a daunting task to find ingredients and items youve never heard of before,
may i suggest starting with what you know from the produce aisle and learning how to prepare it in a knew way, combine you favorite ingredients and see what new taste you taste buds can, well, taste. it makes you visualize what you are going to prepare and its kinda fun at the same time,

preparing fresh food takes alot of trips to the store too, you may have to go to the store twice a week instead of every two weeks, but you will spend alot less,
say you buy $200 worth of processed food every two weeks,
if you eat fresh food from the produce aisle, you may end up spending only 75 a week,
there is no packaging or advertising involved so you save big buck,
try to find a good balance
