For my family, the difference for us is whether or not we eat out. If I cook at home, it is definitely more costly to cook healthy meals than the cheaper meat and potato or Pasta dishes. But, even those costly healthy meals are MUCH cheaper than our monthly food bill for those months that we eat out several times a week (and unfortunately, that has been a norm for us for quite some time.) Since school will be out this week, I'll be a cooking fool. Guess I can put that money away for a new back to school wardrobe!!:confused_smile:

I have always been a perimeter shopper. so I suppose its because I am buying less, eating much less. so spending less money.

Yes! Me too.

I do not buy diet foods anymore, either.

I do not have the deisre to purchase any more shakes, pills, plans, etc.

Plus I can buy food for a family of three and it will feed my family of 4.

And as an added bonus...I don't eat out as much anymore and that's saving me a ton.

Maybe it's me, or maybe after I'm banded I'll be spending less. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I went shopping today for hopefully the next 2-3 weeks. I got to the register and had spent a little over $100 bucks. I have no idea how, I noramlly only spent $80-90 bucks for 2 weeks worth of food. I did buy these 1/2 cup storage containers to bring lunch to work. And a few measuring cups. I'm a little depressed now, $100 bucks is alot for food and all I bought was liquid stuff (yogurt, Jello, broth, Water, etc...) Oh well, only time will tell, if I spent less after I'm banded.
