What the Dollar Value Menu Gets You…

With every customer, we try to establish a new budget to retain discretionary income. One of the leading areas that we encourage our customers to cut back on is eating out. The problem sometimes is that it actually seems cheaper to eat out. For $1.07 you can get a hamburger at Micky D’s. The ground chuck alone at Publix is $3.99 per pound- not to mention the accessories. The truth of it is, if you try to recreate restaurant food- especially fast food like burgers or pizza, it will cost more to make it at home.

Creating a food budget takes work. In the end, however, it will cost less to cook and your family can be significantly healthier. Devoting time to creating healthy meals is easy once you get the hang of it. And for those of you with “picky eaters”- call me old school, but hunger changes things. If all there is to eat is fruit, then when they get hungry enough, they will eat fruit.

Healthier bodies lead to healthier choices.

Make the choice. Make the change. Delta.
