What you can buy for $13
The first column may look appealing, but you are left with
completely empty calories, leaving you unfulfilled and wanting
more. Your food budget will suffer, ending in buying more food
than you need.
The second column provides you with a lot more food, as well as
giving you a variety of vitamins, minerals, and micro/macro
nutrients. This just means that you are getting the best bang for
your buck for your health and your food budget. Your body will
feel more fulfilled and you will end up spending less overall.
