All those yummy food commercials use all kinds of methods to make the food look salivatingly good – from glued on seeds on the hamburger buns to soda loaded with antacid to make it bubbly. Last week I visited a garage sale. Do you watch HGTV? The kids reported what they liked and what they didn’t.

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Used bookstores, fair trade products, and locally sourced food/baskets/pottery are favorites, in addition to monthly outings with my kids. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.

Take a moment to watch them. Discussing how it is easier to eat healthy when you have food stamps but once that is gone or you have “graduated” from the program, you can no longer eat as well.
