Let's go shopping

Food shopping gets more and more difficult. You want to eat right and feed your family healthy options but worry about paying the bills at the same time.  It's so unbelievable how expensive good food is.   So I decided to compare two food shopping lists to make sure I wasn't being overly dramatic. 

Take a look.......
 Meal  #1
Breakfast
- Cocoa Puffs and Milk
 Lunch
- Frozen Pizza
 Dinner
- Mac n Cheese
- chicken breast
 Dessert
- Cookies
Total spent $22.80

                                                    Meal #2 (healthier options)

Breakfast
- Oatmeal and banana
 Lunch
- Frozen organic pizza with spring mix salad, tomatoes, and cucumbers
Dinner
- Whole grain pasta, grilled chicken, and veggies
Dessert
- Fresh fruit sorbert
Total Spent $ 42.17
 
 I am not being overly dramatic!  Things should be switched.  Fruit should be $1.00 and Ho-Ho's should be $5.99.
