[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 908020, member: 150927"] My experience is in western countries (as a travel bunny), including countries that tax food: In a weekly shop buying whole foods and low-carb options costs much the same as, or is cheaper than shopping lists that include 'the usual' processed food (ie as in pre low-carbing days). Choosing items on special works a treat - especially when buying meat, fish and poultry, and the preferred free-range poultry and eggs. And utilising Lidl, when in European countries with Lidl, is a real boon for specials, and dairy, meats etc The 'cheaper or much the same' includes buying expensive low-carb flours like almond flour, and coconut flour, and a good quality coconut oil or two. (When coffers really low I buy two types of coconut oil - one more processed for cooking in, and one really yummy more expensive one for baking.) Buying organic fruit and vegetables is something that depends on the bank account too - I buy as much as I can organic produce as the budget can stretch to. Buying supplements is the thing that I find very challenging on a low budget. What can seriously up your food shop cost is if you are providing processed food (as well as animal products) for non low-carbers on top of your mainly whole food shop. [/QUOTE]
