I get the best deals at the supermarket. The two-for-one specials and such. Since "fat is good" I can buy the higher fat items that are much less expensive. I usualy cook lots of meat and freeze most of it for my lunches. This makes for lunches that cost maybe $2 or less. Frozen berries cost about half what fresh costs if off season. When in season much of the fruits and vegies can be very inexpensive. I almost never buy the free-range stuff because it is very expensive. With 6 children I can't afford it, even on my "computer engineer" salary. I also buy the lettuce stuff that is less expensive. Food changes very much in price throughout the year. If you allways buy what is cheap, you will also achieve a good food variety rotation. You can buy bulk, things like olive oil. Also, things like cereal, chips and such are very expensive, and you are not buying those. In fact I don't think eating paleo should be any more expensive than not if you always buy the on-sale items. R. Keene Richard Keene, Novell Inc, Provo, Utah, 801-861-4389, [log in to unmask]
