    It can be done. You have gotten a ton of great advice here. It takes a little more effort to eat healthy, but it is no more expensive than eating not so healthy food. Good luck to you :)

    Do you have farmer's markets near you?
    I can buy 2 pounds of green beans for about $1.50 at a farmer's market.

    My husband likes a sandwich for his work lunch but he had to eliminate salt where possible, so I started buying chicken breasts and cheap roasts to make in to 'deli cold cuts'. At a couple dollars a pound, it's also quite a savings.

    If you like to bake, it is very cheap to make your own bread. My favorite is the No knead type -- it's got very few ingredients and you can add whole grains so it is substantial.

    That said, I have one daughter who would live on ramen if I let her!

    Don't think of food as healthy and unhealthy. Just count calories.



    WOW

    You don't know much about nutrition, obviously.
    I agree. The person who originally wrote that shocked me so much I was speechless. All I could say is WOW.
