I know that I need to eat healthy foods, but sometimes I want junk food. The problem with that is that here the junk food is more expensive than the healthy food. It’s cheaper to eat fruit and vegetables than it is to eat ice cream. It’s a struggle…needless to say, I’m eating much healthier now than I think I ever have before!
There is an 'organic' store in town where some of this produce is from.
 |
| Bag of green beans: handful already eaten...purchased at the organic store for 25 Baht ($0.78) |
 |
| Bag of fresh Chives: bought at organic store for 15 Baht ($0.47) |
 |
| Large Apple: expensive (but I was craving an apple) 35 Baht ($1.09) Later I found a place where I can buy them a little bit cheaper, at least now I know for next time. |
 |
| Lettuce: bought at the organic store for 25 Baht ($0.78) |
 |
| Tray of cherry tomatoes: bought at the organic store for 20 Baht ($0. 63) |
 |
| Cucumber: bought at local market for 3 Baht ($0.09) |
 |
Ice Cream cone: (the cheap one) 20 Baht ($0.63)
The expensive one (Magnum bars) are 40 Baht ($1.25) a piece. |
This is just to give you a little bit of an idea...I still love to eat ice cream and potato chips, it's just that when you compare the prices I don't know that it always makes sense to buy the snack food. Right now, I'm wishing I had an ice cream bar in my freezer. I could easily go at get it...I haven't decided if I'm going or not.
