Something that has not been mentioned...The cost of buying local food is also a matter of priority. I do not earn a high income, but I choose to spend my money on good, local, healthful food. I could choose to spend my money on a new flat screen TV, a new car, or any other luxury, but I don't. Instead, I choose to spend it on good food that I cook from scratch because health is important to me and supporting local farmers is important to me. It's not only an economical issue it's also an issue of upholding your values in regards to sustainability and health.
