You don’t have to waste a ton of money at whole foods to eat healthy food. Just go to Jewel and buy lots of vegetables and things. And yeah, $100 bucks a week is a TON, even for a guy who eats a lot…

@ heathy eater
i think the point of the article is to say that if you’re not on a meal plan you can still buy food on the cheap and make it into well-crafted, healthy fare. when it comes to eating healthy, there are not a ton of truly cheap, truly healthy avenues, so yeah sometimes it pays a bit more to go out to whole foods and buy a salmon steak for $8. eating healthy is a luxury in america. ever notice how many less well-off people shop for doritos and “liter-a-cola.” to be able to shop healthy with an eye towards frugality is something that isn’t apparent until you blow a ton of money one quarter at whole foods. if anything, this article could be seen as a way to still shop and spend money but not get totally SKREWD by Whole Foods Evanston North.

eating for under $100 per week is not cheap…

you might as well eat out every meal if you’re gonna spend $100!

you could literally eat 14 chipotle burritos for $98, which are healthy if you go vegetarian sometimes, and lay off the cheese/sour cream/guac.

this is ridiculous and clearly written by someone who has mommy and daddy’s credit card.
