Thanks for sharing this! I actually starting eating not so great when I started couponing a few months ago since all of the cheap stuff is processed. I’ve done the Metagenic UltraClear cleanse through my doctor.. probably about a year ago. I’m starting it again soon.
So question for you… I do follow you blog but haven’t for very long. Do you focus on HBA items rather than food? How do you create a balance of saving money but buying quality food?
Great question! Is the Metagenic UltraClear Cleanse a prescription?
I am very strategic in my couponing. My hubby and son still eat “normal” and I use overage and managers specials to put Organic Foods in my grocery cart. I have a new class called Healthy Couponing and I plan to share more on that soon
Yes it’s through my chiropractor. It sounds similar to yours but its a 10 day elimination diet with the ultraclear powder and some pre and probiotics. I’m going to extend mine so I continue the healthy eating.
Sounds great… looking forward to it! The grocery stores here in new England are tough… not a ton of great sales or opportunities to use overage. (I get tickled pink when I get it at target… lol)
Now that Walmart allows it that will help too!
With detox plan are any slices/seasonings allowed?
