Marshalee, I also had the very same idea when I decided to adopt the Eat Right for Your Blood Type lifestyle. As an O+ blood type (dh is B+), and going from a semi-vegetarian, high carb diet, it seemed that this would kill my budget...better it than us, I decided. However, after purchasing a freezer (cheap, so buying meat on sale really saves), and really cutting out the Avoid foods, I now see that we do not spend any more on food than we used to. It is amazing how expensive the sugars, fruit juices and carbohydrates really are! It balances out in he end. What took a while was dh being a "B" could eat more carbs than I could; so for a while I was shopping for both lifestyles. Two years later, he is now as low carb as I am, so it's all evened out. We'll see what happens when my 15 y/o stepson comes to live with us in January...he is blood type A or AB. Although he can eat more carbs, he has cholesterol problems already, and should lose about 10 - 15lbs. so, at least for a while, he'll be low carbing also, but his protein choices are very different from "O"s and "B"s....so up goes the food bill again! LOL! I'd rather spend the money on food than on prescriptions, however!!!
