Day 10 Grocery Budget Since Raw

Grocery Budget Since Raw
Family of 4

As of Day 10 we have spent Approximately 190.00 on our produce. Which has been almost 100% organic which the exception of a few items.

Our Budget on Vegan cooked was somewhere around 100.00 to 150.00 per week for a family of four and that was only buying about 50% organic foods.


The organic does make a difference. I feel like I am getting more nourishment from the organic produce as well as more flavor. The conventional doesn’t sustain me as long as the organic does.


So People love to ask is the Raw and Living Lifestyle worth it cost wise.

I must say my answer is YES! The health benefits out weight the cost. Also now we are spending less money on dietary supplements, herbs, and teas to maintain our health on a cooked diet. That money now gets allocated to the fresh produce budget. We also don’t eat out anymore (Somewhat due to the fact that the only raw restaurant in the area is 45mins away) so that money goes back into the pot for to cover other expenses as well.

I also notice there has been minimal produce waste since going 100% raw. Everything is being used and eaten before spoiling unlike when we were cooked vegan some of the fresh foods would turn on use before used.
