$11 for THIS?!

This morning I went to a diner for the first time in years. Apparently there are no good Greek or Jewish owned diners anywhere else other than the tri-state area. So if you move, you've been warned. Don't be surprised when you're stuck with Jim Hortons or IHop as a diner alternative.

I polished off my Chef's Omelet (3 eggs, mushrooms, tomatos, mozzarella, and artichokes). Delish. Don't look at me like that. I can have a damn omelet once in a while, macros have been adjusted accordingly.

The tab came out to $22. Not bad for a sit-down breakfast, a treat.

We ran a few errands such as picking out a swimsuit (more about that another day), which came out to $14 per piece. For men, yes womens swimsuits come in separates you don't get both for a single price unless it's some kind of sale or package deal.

So, as women, most of us are not completely disgusted at the idea of paying $14 for some piece of clothing. Yet, many people I know would be disgusted at what $14 can buy them at a grocery store. I can't even count how many times I've walked past people shopping for chicken breasts in a meat section and overhead someone saying $11 for THIS?!

Really blows my mind.

Sure, I try to keep my grocery bill low, but that's because I try to keep all my bills low. Personally, I think it makes more sense to pay more to fuel your body than say adorn it with fabric and jewels. But really that's just my opinion.

I'll even admit it, we walked out of the grocery store and had spent a little over $15 on some apples, greens, tomatos, cucumbers, cheese, and the paper. I even thought to myself what a ripoff. 

Even though the truth is it wasn't really a rip off, and I know it.

It's a daily struggle sometimes, to put it all into perspective and to remind yourself where your priorities are and where you wish they could be (if you were independently wealthy or something). But let it always be a reminder that without your health, you have nothing.

So take care of yourself, love yourself. 
And treat yourself to some organic apples once in a while, they really do taste better.
