For one, you need to re-read some of the answers to your questions that were similar to this one. There has been tons of advice from all of us on how to eat healthy on a budget. First, you have to decide that you actually do want to eat healthy. I’m not convinced that you do. Then you have to truly understand what it means to eat healthy. Then you have to find places near you (or where you can buy online) that sell healthy food for a decent price. I buy all sorts of fruits and vegetables at the 99 Cents Only store, including carrots, cabbage, bagged lettuces, tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, potatoes, sweet peppers, blueberries, strawberries, and nectarines. I check prices on things at the regular grocery stores, so I have an idea of how much things should cost (like a can of beans, or a head of romaine lettuce, or a package of carrots, or tomatoes by the pound). At some stores, you might pay 2 to 10 times more for the same item. So you need to know how much food should/can cost. It’s a good skill to learn. You mostly learn from observation, and keeping notes, and from checking multiple sources. Here is an article on How to Eat Healthy on a Budget I would strongly advise investing in a crock pot (or slow cooker, which is basically the same thing). Here are a bunch of Healthy Crock Pot Meals on a Budget A terrific way to save money and time is to Make Ahead and Freeze Meals It helps too, if you choose recipes that use some of the same ingredients (chicken breasts, sweet potatoes, beans, tomato sauce) so that you can make different dishes, with the same ingredients. Often, you can get certain items on sale, and you can get a bigger package of that item. Then you can make multiple dishes with the same ingredients, rather than having to run to the store and get a whole bunch of different items. Lay off the processed food, the less processing the food goes through, the better it is for you. Eating Whole Grains are much better than eating things that are the result of processing the fiber and nutrients out of them. Look to find nutrient dense foods, rather than foods with empty calories. Here is a List of Healthy Foods that are Pretty Inexpensive. But make sure you compare prices and do your homework. Like I said before, you could buy the same food for 2 to 10 times the price depending upon where you get it, or whether there is a sale at a certain time, or whether you buy in bulk. Educate yourself on how to find good prices on healthy food. Learn to Cook It’s easier to eat healthy and control your portions and ingredients when you are the one controlling all of that. Just because you’ve brought healthy food into your home, you are not home free yet, unless you Prepare Your Food in More Healthy Ways. Deep frying is bad! I hope this will get you started down the road to a healthier diet, while still maintaining your budget : )
