I splurge on dressings, nuts and dried fruit but overall it's been very beneficial. I love strawberries as well and usually stock up the freezer during the summer and enjoy strawberry smoothies all year round. *sidenote* Premade frozen foods and "convenience" foods are a waste of money. It's better to prepare extra and freeze for a lazy day. I add extra herbs/spices to pasta sauce and then freeze it. Same goes for lentil soup, burritos, pizza and stew. It's much healthier (and cheaper) to have homemade frozen food on hand than purchase store brands which are usually very high in sodium anyway.

IT is better to buy healthier food even it's expensive because it will protect your body from sickness and diseases. I agree with you Grey.

Given that the healthier foods will be better for my medical budget in the long run, it's sort of a win-win.
