First of all, you’re not the crazy one.<\/p>\n
There really is a trend of “health foods” being sold at higher prices than non-healthy foods.<\/p>\n
In fact, a Harvard study found that, on average, eating a healthy diet daily costs about $1.50 more<\/a> than if you ate unhealthy foods.<\/p>\nFrom the day-to-day, this doesn’t sound like such a large amount.<\/p>\n
But annually, that would be $2,200 per year!<\/p>\n
Not to mention, buying organic food can run you 10-30% more<\/a> on your grocery tab as well.<\/p>\nWhile it may seem impossible to beat this system, we have tips for you.<\/p>\n\t\t
