When it comes to feeding a family, we quite often we tend to shop for quantity as opposed to the quality of the food. And in these times, we cannot help but to be more money conscious, but is that really health conscious?  The next time you go grocery shopping, read the labels of the foods you are buying and compare these to the cheaper version.

More than likely, the cheaper version will have MORE CALORIES and more additives / preservatives in them. So if you are one of those people who is looking to loose weight by making a conscious effort of what you eat, buy good quality grocery which may not be as much in QUANTITY, but more in QUALITY of food. This will certainly help you feel better about the number and type of calories you put in your body.
