In this episode, slow living in the kitchen meets slow living debt free as we explore our personal journeys in making more frugal choices when it comes to the foods that we eat while trying to keep a nutrient-dense diet, sharing where we've struggled and what we've learned along the way...

One of my biggest frustrations with podcasts and blog posts on the subject of saving money on a healthy diet has really been... that most of the time those diets were not healthy enough for what I value for my family. Many of grocery budgets were far too low for what I felt to be realistic for my family. Or there were grocery store chains that we didn't have where I lived...

I have felt there are not enough resources out there that talk about saving money on nutrient dense foods. But while our grocery bills may not be as low as some of the podcasts out there, there are many ways to save money on a healthy diet, without having to set aside your values for the quality of the food. In this episode, we'll dive into the ways we have been learning to do that over the years.

What we'll cover in this episode:

• What is the difference between being frugal and being cheap?
• How does frugality connect to slow living?
• Our own personal disclaimers on what this episode will not be about...
• What Jen and Sammy have been doing to reduce the cost of their grocery bills while still maintaining a nutrient dense diet
• What the ONE THING is that we think would be a great place to start if you do nothing else
