Conflict of thinking

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am Thrifty (yes with a capital T!). I have been an avid coupon user for everything possible...groceries, restaurants, shopping, you get the idea.  Grocery coupons are not the best catalyst for enabling healthy eating. I may be changing my eating, but I still plan for looking for ways to save money.

As I become more familiar with brands of organic and natural foods, you better believe I will be looking for coupons and sales!

I am already in contact with a rancher to buy part of a cow for meat. Their cows are grain fed, not hormones and all that good stuff. These make naturally leaner cuts of meat and are supposed to taste better. Buying a cow in bulk (half or whole) actually costs less per pound than getting the same quality meat in the store.  Luckily I have the freezer space to do such a thing.

I also am looking for co-ops and farmers markets for fruits and vegetables. If I am industrious enough, learning to can may be in my future too!
