7 Realistic Ways to Eat Real Food on a Budget (and Thrifty Thursday #45)

Sometimes I come across blog posts or magazine articles about eating "real food". Real food is basically foods that are natural, whole, unrefined and eaten as close to its original state as possible (i.e. a banana rather than banana flavored cereal). This definition does not include highly processed and refined food products, fast food and stuff out of boxes with more than a few ingredients.

Often these articles advocate an all-organic, all-the-time policy and while I think that's a wonderful goal, I have realized that I can't actually eat this way every day {unless I wanted to deprive my children of shoes, and when you live in a place where it can get 30 below zero in the wintertime, that's not a good idea}.

So what's a gal like me to do when she wants her family to eat healthy, real food but also lives in the real world with a budget?

I hope you'll take a minute to read the rest of my article at day2day joys! It has some (what I think are) unique tips to help you really eat real food on a budget.
