DW and I agree that we haven't been eating all that healthy lately and need to get back on track with diet and exercise. I decided to take a trip to Whole Foods today and spend some time exploring some different options, particularly looking for some healthier snack options since that is often our downfall.
I picked up a number of new things to try, a couple of which we already sampled tonight and liked. I was mainly focused on items with little to no saturated fat, no trans fat and no high fructose corn syrup.
The one problem with those things is, of course, that they are more expensive than the crappy versions, but I'm willing to spend a little more for good health. Also, we are working to get back to cooking at home more and eating out less which will save a lot of money. I'd rather spend it on better quality groceries than on high calorie meals out.

Sad to say but most foods bought with coupons are bad for you. They are processed junk/crap.
I'm sad too say as well that I've found buying better quality food costs a lot. Whole wheat/grain bread versus white bread. Fresh veggies versus frozen or canned. Lean cuts of meat, seafood, rather than ground beef or other cuts.
I eat a ton of seafood because I prefer it. Truth is that it's ridiculously expensive when compared to other types of meat. And so my bill is going to be higher.
