Saving Money with Food

As I look for ways to save money so that I can pay for health insurance some time later this year, I have been scanning blogs that publish financial tips.  One such blog advises that you get used to grocery store food.  I cannot imagine a more unpalatable way to save money.  It makes financial sense but not culinary sense.  Maybe I am just too accustomed to good food.  I rarely eat anything out of a can and I have to force myself to accept frozen food.

Pondering an Uncertain Financial Future

I don't have health insurance.  I have been visiting a local urgent care clinic that takes patients without insurance.  Their fees for visits and routine medical tests cost me about $600 a year.  As the Obamacare deadline approaches I am struggling to work out a budget where I can afford to pay for health insurance.  I make too much money to qualify for government assistance so I will have to pay full price for the insurance.
