A Healthy diet on $25 a week is possible

I wondered how long it was going to take for someone to challenge the "Food Stamp Challenge." All across this great country I read story after story of the impossibility of a Food Stamp budget. Please be clear on this, I do think that more attention needs to be given to those participating in the Food Stamp program (I will cover that one in a future article).

This fellow however demonstrated that the budget was achievable even while purchasing organic produce. In early April he began a test of the economic feasibility of living on a $25 weekly food budget including organic whole grains, dried beans and fresh vegetables. He stated that prices "drop 30 to 50 percent if one moves to supermarket prices and non-organic vegetables."

Now add to a grocery shopping tool such as GroceryGuide.com to the situation and you begin to see how many of our Users are able to cut their food budgets by over 50% and eat better!
