Trying to rid yourself of monthly bills? Wondering where to start? Well, here are 5 reasons why you should start with your food bill!

When you think about monthly bills food is not normally the first thing to pop up. Usually rent, electric or auto insurance or the most common first thoughts and your food budget often is a second thought. For some of us our food budget is whatever is left after paying every other bill, but what we eat is directly related to our health and energy levels. So if you’re a follower of my blog you’ll known I like to make list. I think they are a fast way to convey a point in the simplest way possible so here is a list of reasons to consider starting with lowering your food bill first in random order.

       1.       Eating what you grow and raise is safer and healthier, giving you more energy to accomplish more in a day so you can eliminate the other bills faster.

       2.       Look at your trash can how much of it is rappers and packaging, therefore how much closer will you be to ridding yourself of a garbage bill if you lower or eliminate your food bill.

       3.       a strain of bacterium in soil, Mycobacterium vaccae, has been found to trigger the release of seratonin, which in turn elevates mood and decreases anxiety, which means putting your hands in the soil and gardening helps fight depression and makes us happy!

   

      4.       To become free from monthly bills we must change our mindset from a consumer to a producer, a producer of our own power, water, food, wealth, happiness and freedom. Change is not easy and if gardening releases serration in our brains that means it is addictive! and it truly is a gate way drug leading to raising chickens and other livestock , to buying solar power and beyond. Start an addiction that you want! Start a garden.

     

      5.       Starting eliminating the power bill or water bill or rent /mortgage take start up cash you must have some extra money in your budget to start to lower those bill. But to lower your food bill cost you nothing. Don’t believe me?

Extra reason to start with your food bill

People who grow their own food eat on a hole more cold foods then cooked foods. It’s just logic having access to more fresh berries and fruits and salad greens you just have to cook less snacks and lunches this means that you use less power cooking and so as a result of lowering your food bill your power bill will go down as well (not always true but in some cases)
