    Great buys!

    Per my own research the cost of meeting the definition of healthy eating, as defined by The Food Guide Pyramid/Choose MyPlate model, for a smart shopper, is about $30 to $35 per person per week, more or less based on the person's energy needs. With extra smart buying it can be done for $25 to $30 per person per week. With heroics, such as baking one's own bread, growing a garden, etc., and extra smart shopping it can be done for $15 to $25 per person per week.

    Add convenience foods to the mix and the cost goes up dramatically.

    Dear I know this may seen crazy but you could get all them things you buy for low prices if you live in the USA, it can be done with coupons and looking for sales when they come around you can even print them off line now days.
