Have you ever baulked at the price of fruit? Or thought that organic meat is expensive?

The new rules for supermarkets now means that they have to put the per kg price on every item.  Some of the supermarkets are pretty sneaky and have the per 100grams price which makes it look cheaper.  You need to multiply this by 10 times to get the per kg price.

Have you seen how much you are paying for the snacks you buy??  Some of the snacks are as much as $35 per kg. 

Compare this to the price being asked for fruit and vegetables

It never ceases to amaze me that some one will think $1 is too much to pay for an apple; an apple that started as a flower and then took months to grow and soak up sunshine and water and nutrients.  That this apple is “too expensive” and yet the same person will happily pay $2 to $3 for a snack bar.

Pay attention to how much you are paying for what you are eating.  Not only will your waistline thank you for

It is easy to be tricked into thinking that the snacks are good for us because they are marketed as Healthy Snacks.  They are not only often quite unhealthy for our bodies if we eat them too often, many of the snacks are quite sugar laden.  These expensive snacks are also harmful to our wallets.   

Decide for yourself.  Check the prices, as well as the sugar content.  Make informed choices.
