In the long run you will save more on medical expenses if you spend more on healthy foods. Eat oatmeal, very inexpensive. Eat seasonal vegetables on special and buy extra chicken berasts, etc when they are on special and freeze them When you look at nutritional content, processed foods really are not a better deal. Plus, whole foods fill you up more, so you eat less. here are my favorite cheap healthy foods: Lean beef, ground, a big package has about 14 3-0z servings in it and costs around 8 bucks, tops. pretty cheap perserving. Eggs, one of my favorites. Oatmeal, so cheap in bulk, no wonder the irish immigrants survived on it! And it lowers your cholesterol! Tuna fish - the canned variety, not albacore, which is spendier and has higher levels of mercury in it. Beans - always on special canned, but so cheap if you buy them dried and cook yourself - lentils and rice, black beans and rice, mmm. Rice - regular (not as nutritious), brown, basmati - very inexpensive abnd tasty. Frozen vegetables - actually have more intact nutrients than fresh produce because they are frozen right after being harvested, fresh produce loses nutrients as it sits out. When on special, stock up on the diferent stir-fry blends and the broccoli/cauliflower mixes. i really like frozen spinach mixed with egg whites for an omelette!!! Garlic and onions are always cheap, and add flavor to those beans! Yams are usually pretty cheap, as is squash, so many varieties! I also like frozen pollock filets - quite often on special two 3-lb packages for 3 dollars - all fish is good fish - buy it when it is on special. Most fish can be baked from frozen, seasoned with Mrs Dash and a side of microaved frozen veggies - voila! healthy, cheap and tasty. Now, no more self-made obstacles - get out there and tackle this healthy lifestyle!!!!! -------------- Dont spend your precious time asking \"Why isnt the world a better place?\" It will only be time wasted.
