I recently got into an online argument with a woman because she claimed that eating healthy was more expensive than eating fast food or from chinese take outs . I countered that I feed two adults on $40 a week by shopping on the perimeter of the market and/or shopping at Aldi's. Cutting my diet down to basically fresh fruits/vegetables and poultry has really saved me a lot of money. My local Aldi's has a dozen eggs for less than $1 and I can get 6 chicken wings for $3! Aldi's has really hit the market and improved on the affordable market concept that places like Save-A-Lot mostly failed on.
