Organic on a budget

Just wanted to share this Saturday Village Health Market is having a 20% off sale storewide. While I shop at Publix for our weekly grocery, I only buy our poultry and meats at VHM since they have some great prices!

Organic Chicken Breast
Publix = $6.99/lb
Village Health Market= $3.99
with 20% off discount= $3.20/lb!!

Organic Ground Chicken
Publix= $5.16/lb
Village Health Market= $1.99
with 20% discount= $1.60/lb!

VHM also sells organic ground turkey (not available at Publix), organic meats, and wild salmon. They are located in South Tampa off Macdill, about a block south of bay to bay.

And as a tip on how to make food just a bit healthier- whenever I make meatsauce with pasta I often substitute the ground round beef with ground turkey- it has 40% less fat than the meat and it tastes pretty similar. Steve who does not like to eat anything with the term 'organic' attached to it because he automatically equates it to 'Pretty bad tasting' even loves the ground turkey instead of the beef!

On a separate note a quick update on our family:

My mother in law Patti is recuperating well from her surgery yesterday. And praise the Lord they did not find any cancer as originally suspected! What a huge relief and blessing to our family. Thank you to all who prayed for her.

Also Jack is back to his old self from the stomach bug he had last week. He only had it for about a day, but was not himself really for a couple of days afterwards. Glad to have my little boy back!

He just started saying 'ma-ma' well yesterday when he is looking for me, and now says it all the time for everything- ha ha!
