We even get organic fruits and veggies delivered for $108/month from a local co-op.

I bought Clean Eating magazine and I can't even pronounce 90% of the ingredients in it, so it's kinda just sitting there collecting dust. I really want to eat more real foods, but I know, like you said, takes alot of planning, prep & cooking time.
