Everyone wants to eat healthy, everyone wants it to be easy, and everyone wants it to be affordable. So why is it so difficult to find that balance of feeding our families well but staying within budget?
A new trend in grocery retail that has been catching on is the emergence of”grocerants.” Part grocery, part restaurant, they’re just one more way to accommodate the growing number of Americans who cook at home less than they used to. Whole Foods and others have even started adding sit-down restaurants and craft beer on tap at their stores, hoping customers will pull up a chair and eat in their new food hall.
Supermarkets want to convince customers to visit them for lunch or dinner, and not just for a weekly grocery haul. And yes, there are some beautifully merchandised grocery stores out here in the Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill area.
However friends, you will pay dearly for that glamorous display and for that convenience, to the tune of 2-3 times the cost of preparing and eating meals at home.
So what’s the real culprit here? Why are we so willing to seek convenience at such a high cost? Could it be the sheer lack of time we’re all experiencing? Could it be the stress of adding healthy meal planning & prep to an already overstretched schedule? Are you trying a new cooking lifestyle like Gluten Free or Paleo and you have no idea what ingredients you need to buy?
We recognize that in many parts of the world such as Europe, people shop daily and are far more leisurely in their approach to meals and cooking. They take the time needed to cook, savor and ENJOY fresh food. But here in America, we drive through and gulp down fast food in the car, we consider a protein shake a good choice for breakfast, we grab ready made sandwiches to swallow down in 5 minutes at our desk, we end up giving our children chicken nuggets & happy meals, we eat out on weekends & weeknights because we’re stressed out and mentally exhausted trying to figure out a weekly menu on top of actually preparing food.
Pam HATES trying to figure out & prepare meals, especially after a long day at work, but she still wants her family to eat well, to eat at home and to not always eat out.
