Thanks for that list, Sis. Darlene. I find myself being very frustrated when I go to the store because all the fresh fruits and veggies are so expensive. At times, the only thing we can afford are the canned items.

I would love to have a garden some day.

It can be discouraging, how expensive the fresh veggies are, compared to the canned. Frozen is a good alternative, as most of the vitamins are retained, but it's cheaper than fresh!

Coming to Guatemala was a great move for us, health-wise. Fresh is actually MUCH cheaper here. We do have to be careful about pesticides, though.

Thanks for the list, Sis Darlene! That's a great guide. ...but I didn't see any chocolate on it... ;D
