Exactly, on the "organic fairy dust whatever" thinking of fats. My grocery budget is my biggest "controllable" & we eat very well. For instance, discount meat. Best value ever - just freeze it, or marinate & freeze it.  I used to do little classes for my hotel housekeepers on couponing & grocery budgeting. It was really nice to see that "aha" moment, but really there should be a mandatory Life Skills class for a h.s. diploma.
