Do Vegetable Gardens Waste More Money Than They Save?

I was bopping along the Internet when I found myself in a discussion about frugal advice people hate. Basically, those tips to save money that don’t apply to you. And the number one way to save money that actually wasted money was – plant a garden. This was followed by people saying that vegetable gardens cost them more money than they saved because it cost them $40 to grow one tomato and that vegtable gardening is a waste of money. On the one hand I tend to agree because growing a vegetable gardening to save money is playing the long game. Save this idea to your Pinterest Boards for later! Share it with your friends!

I Learned an Important Lesson at Whole Foods Today

Oh Whole Foods you are a blessing and a curse.

Love it or hate it, Whole Foods is a good place to shop if you have a food allergy since they seem to carry every variation of traditional foods you are allergic to or need a substitute for a nontraditional diet.

I don't shop there often b but I will shop there on occasion because there are a few things we use  I can only get at Whole Foods. 




When I learned a new shopping area was going to include a Whole Foods, every time I drove past it I  silently urged them to 'build faster'.


Recently the store opened. I haven't had a chance to check it out. I asked Husband if he needed anything while I headed out the door to my morning Piyo class.  Were running low on his cow's milk and completely out of banans.

What a good excuse to go to Whole Food! Grab my two things, check some prices on  some bulk bin items, wander the store a bit, and zip home, right?

I learned something today.

It isn't a good idea to go to a store that sells food after Piyo class.

Oops.

Planks, crunches, and ab work make me hungry for anything that isn't nailed down. I had to stop myself from face planting into a bag of chips in the store. Hippy chips but still.

 I to the store for just milk and bananas remember?

 I knew this was going to happen.
 


At least I now know it happened sooner rather than later.
