Welcome to the Blue Zone Households channel.

What if the cheapest grocery run in America belonged to the people who also live the longest?

An hour east of Los Angeles sits a town whose residents outlive the average American by roughly a decade. They are not buying superfoods or supplements. They are buying dry beans out of a bulk bin, splitting a twenty-five pound sack of oats with the neighbours, and standing at the bakery rack after five in the evening when the day-old loaves get marked down.

Twenty-three habits, built over a lifetime, in ordinary supermarkets anyone can walk into. None of them are complicated and none of them cost anything to start. Together they hold one household's weekly shop at fifty-eight dollars — a number that has barely moved in decades.

In this video an elder of that community walks through all twenty-three, one at a time: what he does, what it replaces, and what it saves. The last one isn't in any supermarket aisle at all.
