Reply #22: Yeah, I've noticed that too! [View All]

I live on fruits, veg, make my own salad dressing from mustard, tofu, balsamic vinegar and silk--none of which I've ever seen a grocery coupon for.

I buy Organic milk and yoghurt too--no coupons there!

However...here's what I have done. It's summer now, and I live in California, so I go to the Farmer's Market every 2 weeks at Embarcadero for fresh stuff. Also, I bought a Food Saver, the best purchase ever if one wants to buy produce in bulk. It doesn't last for a month or anything, but I can chop up a week's worth of fruit salad for lunch every day at work. It can also be used to bag, seal and freeze food. So you can buy those big cartons of strawberries and blueberries at the height of the season, freeze them and eat them in the winter. Not ideal, but better than buying off-season from South America in January.

It's obvious that The System makes fake food cheap to keep poor people sick and malnourished. If you buy healthy, you have to console yourself with the idea that even though you're paying more now, you won't be buying drugs from Big Pharma when you're a senior living on a fixed income--far more expensive than cantaloupe!

Prevention, anti-oxidants and exercise will keep most of those pills at bay!
