A common hurdle for people investigating Isagenix is the cost. It was for me. I heard about it first in early November, but when I saw the prices I had to evaluate my budget. At $75/weekly for groceries, it was difficult to swallow the $350 monthly pricetag for two meals per day. Here's how Isagenix breaks down for me:
Each month I purchase a 30-day pack for about $300 (the associate rate), which includes
- 4 weeks of 2 daily shakes
- Cleanse for Life for the month
- 4 Replenish sticks (sort of like Gatorade mix)
- Accelerator capsules for the month
- IsaFlush for the month
- Snacks for the month (wafers meant to help curb hunger and keep blood sugar steady, especially on cleanse days)
This takes care of all my breakfasts and lunches, as well as weekly cleanses. In theory, all I would need to buy beyond this is dinners and shake mix-ins, like bananas or PB2. I am using Blue Apron for my dinner fork meals at $60 about every other week.
So, my monthly grocery budget is now about $420 rather than $300. So yes, Isagenix is more expensive than regular groceries. But I was also eating out more frequently prior to Isagenix, about 2-3 times per week at $10-15 each time. Now I eat out once every other week. This brings my total monthly eating bill to $480, and my previous monthly eating bill to $420.
So basically for $60 more monthly I can eat healthier and lose weight? Sounds like a good investment to me. Granted, I have been supplementing my 30-day pack with eShots, IsaLean bars, and IsaDelights (more on these in later posts), but for the first month, when I was most successful, I did just the 30-day pack and I was all set. Which, now that I think of it, makes me question the need for these little extras. They seem like good excuses for snacking...
