I am wondering why it seems to me that (around here at least) healthy or semi healthy food seems to be much more expensive. For instance baked potato chips are two dollars more than the same flavor potato chips that are friend. And things like fresh veggies are even more expensive. It seems to me that some of the people who need healthy foods and can't afford them, such as people like me and my hubby, who are disability. But when you go down the packaged food (snack and cracker isle)and you can find things for a dollar or less really easily. Is there a reason that healthy foods are more expensive. Do they want people with less money to be unhealthy?

Fruits and vegetables are not that expensive. Dried beans, rice, heavy bread make your own croutons. MUCH cheaper than junk food and you won't have to go to the doctor as much and you will live MUCH Longer.
Plus the garbage that is cheap is cheap because it is garbage!
As far as fruits and veggies, buy what's in season and that will save some money. I do agree that most of them are still really expensive, though, depending on where you live. Here, strawberries go on sale for $2 and we think it's a great price. Where my parents live, they go on sale for less than $1 per pound sometimes.
Hopping in to pif!
it seems when they use LESS ingredients to make it healthier, it costs MORE!
It's more expensive b/c the ingredients are usually of better quality. Use rice and beans as stretchers - they're very inexpensive!
