My husband's birthday present came in and he is starting this diet on Monday (unless he has to travel for work...which looks to be happening soon...praise the Lord).
To really get the most out of this program, you have to follow the diet as well. So, being the supportive wife I am, I made a list of things he can have and went shopping for him. I am also going to try to buy less prepackaged stuff (even though it is cheap ;-), and healthier stuff overall. For him to be really successful, we all have to be in on it and there can't be a lot of temptations in the house.
Let's just say this makes my bargain hunting job that much harder! I was doing so well, but staying out of the middle aisles for the most part really limits the coupons. I stocked up on produce and got a few other things at Aldi for the kid's breakfasts to the tune of $30. Then, went to Sam's for his protein stuff and spent $130...yikes...on produce, some meats he can have, his protein shakes, bars, some ibuprofen, milk, egg whites...well, not nearly a basket full for that amt. Crazy! He assures me this stuff will last him a while, so I sure hope so.
In the good news department, I have my list for Publix and after coupons I should spend less than $5 there. But that makes a grand total of $165 for groceries....which I have not spent in a LONG time....and hope not to spend at once for another Long time.
Why is healthy food so much more expensive?!?!
We LOVE October!

Jason's theory is that is why people do not eat healthy - it's too expensive! If they made the healthy food a litle cheaper (and coupon friendly) like the prepackaged stuff, we'd probably buy more of it! I think I agree with him!
