Additional savings: - no dental work for last 5-6 years - no antacids, antibiotics, painkillers or other drugs for the same period - energy savings (much less cooking - I eat at the moment more than 50% of my food raw) - no need to 'upgrade' my cloths size yearly ;) - economy: me and my dog are eating basically the same food so nothing goes to waste plus I'm more productive at work so I can earn more.
