Shop for Affordable Health Food with Dr. Joseph Mercola

Friday, August 29, 2008

With the economy in decline, prices are rising and unemployment is growing, forcing Americans to cut down on spending. Last year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food rose by 4.0 percent, its highest annual increase since 1990. Due to higher commodity and energy cost, the CPI for food is predicted to hike another 4.5 to 5.5 percent in 2008, resulting in even higher retail prices.

Your food bill has skyrocketed but it doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice nutrition just to be able to stretch your budget.

You just have to shop smart.
