Go to the store with recipes in mind.  Keep the recipes quick and easy by not exceeding 5 ingredients for one meal.  We like to eat burgers.  So, I buy whole grain rolls, Bell and Evans Chicken burgers, organic spring mix, organic white button mushrooms and a red onion or avocado.  

Look for deals, stock up when you do find a sale on organic or healthy foods you like.  Keep it simple and make small changes one at a time.  

Try skipping the afternoon or night time hunger binge by planning a 4pm snack.   My plan this week was the organic apples (no pesticides).   Normally $4.99 for 3 pounds. That is a little expensive.  But on sale this week for $3.99 for 3 pounds.  I bought three bags of organic apples or 9 pounds.  Last week, Crazy Richard's natural peanut butter (no corn syrup or hydrogenated oil) was on sale, down from $2.99 to $2.49.  Picked up 3 jars of peanut butter.  I know this stuff will get plowed down and not go to waste, so why not save the money.   

And now I have an easy, quick and healthy afternoon snack for everyone for a week or two: Apple slices dipped in peanut butter.   30 seconds to make, nicely paired up protein and healthy carbohydrate.  Delicious. 

If you shop for it, they will make.  You, the consumer, decide.  Cast your vote at your local grocery store on what our food industry should look like.  We can't always eat perfectly, but why not try to make the food industry give us the best and give back the best to the environment.  It all adds up, one apple at a time.
