Do you have a hard time saving money when buying organic food? The market for organic food has exploded in recent years, but that growth has yet to result in lower prices. Organic food is so expensive, in fact, that many consumers aren’t willing to give it a try, even if it is much healthier. Whole Foods has become one of the most successful grocery stores of all time based on its organic focus, but the prices are so high that the store has faced significant backlash over the past few months and is derisively called “Whole Paycheck”. Given the narrative surrounding how costly organic food is, you’d think there would be no way to use coupons and save money on it. In reality, that couldn’t be further from the case. Most people are unaware of how many ways there are to get discounts on organic foods. Guest poster Jason from Dealspotr is here to end that knowledge gap! Did you know there were so many healthy foods at Sam's Club?! A few weeks ago, we bought a Groupon for a Sam’s Club membership. For $45, we got the Sam’s Plus membership (normally $100), a $20 gift card, and coupons for a free rotisserie chicken, free salsa (which is my favorite salsa EVER), and a free 8-ct. cupcakes (which we never redeemed, hooray!). As much as I love Harris Teeter, our local grocery store, I have really been trying to save money on groceries lately! This is going to be even more challenging without using potatoes, pasta, and rice as filler, since we try to mostly stay low-carb. So far, we have found some really good healthy choices at Sam’s Club, and while we end up eating the same things more often, we have saved money and time, because a lot of what we buy from Sam’s is really easy to heat up or throw together! Did you know you can even order your healthy foods at Sam's Club online and pick them up in the store? Awesome! Do you have troubles getting enough water to drink? Check out these 7 super easy ways to drink more water and add more H2O to your day! Are you a failed dieter? A failed dieter is someone who has tried numerous diets, only to crash and burn or gain all his/her weight back after the diet has ended. However, what if I told you that you could lose weight if you cheat on your diet? I have been on somewhat of a weight loss plateau for several months now. Nothing I seem to do brings the scale down! I survived the holidays without the scale jumping up, but I can’t seem to get things going back down. It has been so, so frustrating! So last week I all but gave up. I admitted defeat. I ate horribly. I barely exercised. And I lost almost 5 lbs. This is not the first time this has happened. This also happened to me the time I got stuck for weeks and finally broke down and had nachos and Golden Corral and carby goodness at the Hillbilly Hideaway (where every vegetable comes with at least one stick of butter), and then I started losing weight again! There are actually benefits to cheating on your diet. I am not a dietitian or nutritionist, but in my own experience, here are some of the benefits I have seen!
