Affordable Healthy Grocery Shopping in 30 Minutes
Ever wonder what a healthy grocery list would look like? One of the things many people tell us is that it seems too hard to change shopping habits. They feel eating healthy is harder or costlier. I can tell you shopping for whole, natural foods is less expensive, easier and much faster in the grocery store than dealing with a bunch of processed foods.
This is our "perennial" grocery list. We add to it or take away from it as needed, but these are the basics in our basket each week. In fact, I can get in and out of a grocery store and shop for my family for the week in 30 minutes or less. HOW? you ask. It's simple! I only shop the perimeter of the store, and I go in with a list. The few processed items I buy are easy to spot, so my shopping takes almost no time at all.
I challenge you to try using this list for a month. Tell me what you think!

Libby Wright, mother of four who homeschools, is an original founder of SupplementRelief.com in 2010. She suffered through challenging diseases including Interstitial Cystitis, Graves and Lyme. After years of little progress with traditional medicine, she pursued integrative medicine, applied what she learned, and got healthier. She became passionate about wanting others to experience the same "relief" she had come to know, and SupplementRelief.com was born. She is now managing her illness with a lot of prayer, a lot of nutrition/supplements, and a little prescription medicine. She has been able to resume her normal life and, while there is no cure for her particular conditions, she is able to cope, enjoy every day, and encourage others.
