Not to mention the fact that most healthy food is much more perishable and needs to be replenished more frequently.

- jcater 10y agoI think this is the bigger issue. I'd agree that buying healthy options at the grocery store does not have to be more expensive than junk food (or even cheaper), but that's assuming you can plan ahead well enough to not throw away the fresh food once it spoils. Granted, that's a matter of habit, but a hard habit to overcome if you're not used to it. I rarely shop in the middle of the grocery store, except for staples, but I still manage to throw a bit away a week later.
- mrob 10y agoIf you have access to a freezer this isn't a problem. Frozen vegetables are generally better than fresh, because they're picked in peak condition instead of early for better shelf life, and they come pre-cut so they save time. They're usually cheaper too. With the exception of onions which are cheap and have good shelf life fresh, almost all the vegetables I eat are frozen.
