Greetings and Salutations!! Today’s Ask Ash Cash segment offers some quick tips on how you can “Eat Healthy and Still Save Money,” asked by Katie… Remember if you have any questions, please send them to [email protected] or ask via twitter @IamAshCAsh using

Dear Ash Cash: I recently created a budget and noticed that the majority of my money is going towards food. I am eating healthy now so that may be the reason why its so high; as you know healthy food is expensive…. So How Can I eat Healthy and Still save money?

Hi Katie, Eating healthy and saving money may sound like an oxymoron, but there are actually ways to make this happen. As we know, when you are buying fast food, it is common knowledge that healthy food is expensive, and unhealthy food is cheap. But if you started cooking more
at home, you would begin to see a significant shift in your wallet size. This is the most important change you can make to save money. When you eat out, what you are paying for is convenience, and with convenience comes a hefty price. Also try shopping in advance so that you always have something available to cook at home to avoid the temptation of eating out. Lastly, buy in bulk… Places like Costco, Sam’s Club, or even BJ’s can provide you deep discounts if you buy in bulk.

OY!
Brian McKnight has found a new level of relevance through Twitter and tacky rap R&B songs! I gotta give this man some credit, people give him their time and actually pay him attention. I sure did a few weeks ago when her first started to yap about his “adult mixtape.” At any rate, he is good money when it comes to getting attention, because he dissed Floyd Mayweather and Chris Brown. He doesn’t say their names, but its plain and simple enough. Do remember: McKnight has a new “a### song.” It may never stop with this guy since we keep giving him time and attention. <<–Hit the LANK to read about it.

Here are the tweets! Shout out to my amigo that tipped me off to this. I may add dude to team illseed!

I busted this out on illseed.com yesterday, but here you go! I don’t know where this one came from, but a respected OG has informed me that Flavor Flav, hype man of Public Enemy and reality star, is about to be on the fast track to being a minister! That right: YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH GAWWWWWD! Can you imagine this one? Flavor Flav has been many things. Revolutionary. Comedian. Crackhead. Musician. Nevertheless, I am hearing the man is the next rapper to turn into a preacher, right behind Minister Mase! I don’t know all the details, but I know that the source is a trusted one. I hope this is…true? I don’t know!

What is Chuck D going to say about this one!?
