No, it's not just you. It's increasingly difficult to feed yourself properly without needing help from a loan shark.
2017 was a bad year for the price of fresh fruit and vegetables. In September, fresh produce prices were up 5.7 percent on the year before.
It was even worse in May, when the price of fruit and veges shot up 14 percent compared to the same time the year before.
Part of the problem was the soggy weather we had, which saw some vegetables literally rotting in the soil where they were supposed to grow.
At various points through 2017 we saw cauliflower shoot up to 10 bucks a pop, kumara jump up to over $8 a kilo, and the always maligned avocados were a costly $4.50 each.
If you're trying to feed a family their five plus a day, it's beyond me how you deal with that.
But of course, that's why we bring in the experts. There's got to be a way to feed yourself right without going broke.
I called up Lifespark nutritionist Kate Walker for the latest episode of Go to Health.
We talked about the common misperceptions about what's actually healthy, and how to save both money and time while eating the food your body needs.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
