So bulk will save you cash even when you buy healthy.

Buying in bulk can save money, assuming you want to use an orange crate as your coffee table and don't have to buy a bigger home to get pantry space. But most of those items don't keep as long as a recession lasts. If you can't store it that long, you're only postponing the cost.

If you buy food to store, you need space and healthy foods that can be stored are few. Even your frozen veggies are only good for maybe half a year, assuming you have a dozen freezers to put them in. I guess you can store catsup easily, then that's iffy as a healthy food.

Seems to me the rising cost of foods is very hostile to beating obesity.

Edit: Of course, there's always the obvious constructive response, which is to eat less, but how likely is that...
