Neighborhood food co-ops, farmers markets (especially when they're about to close for business) neighbor-to-neighbor fresh-from-the-garden swapping, heck even growing your own produce can be cheaper than buying food from a store. Also one particular usually inner-store aisle to find healthy, low-processed, few-ingredients food is the rice, bean, flour, foreign/Mexican/Asian aisle. Sometimes you can find these low-processed, few-ingredients mixed in with other inner aisle items - in this manner I'm considering nut and peanut butters, all fruit spreads, whole-wheat and other whole grain cereals (such as shredded wheat and wheatabix) and flours for example. Just some ideas and suggestions... Oh also, if time in preparation is sometimes an issue, sometimes from the deli at closing time or other "bargain times" that a store has, one can, for example, buy whole rotisserie chickens for a mere fraction of their usual sale price. (I'm speaking from personal experience of this at one of my usual store stops.)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8284','KEN EBACHER'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8284','KEN EBACHER','Hi everyone! some other ideas for keeping food costs down while getting good healthy stuff.

I REALLY wish you would take the time to actually write up the points in each video so we don't spend our time with filler and fluff. You could still make the videos for people who want to spend time in their day watching some kind of screen thing, but for the rest of us whose bodies are not our businesses, the info would be there in a much more compact form. Anyway, the 'perimeter' tip is one I've heard elsewhere, the other way around. The processed stuff in the middle is generally less expensive per unit than fresh-baked goods or locally-produced anything. Seems to me a bit of balance is needed--canned pineapple (no sugar added), plain Triscuits, oatmeal, molasses, etc, good stuff from the aisles! Potato salad, white bread or pastries, yogurt drinks--nasties from the perimeter! That said, I fully support local producers whenever I can. Buying local fruit in season is healthy and inexpensive!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6883','jen'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6883','jen','I\'m glad you put the \'take-home\' tip with this video.
