    I recommend chicken livers. Eating them once or twice a month cured my mild anemia, AND my dog's zinc deficiency. I can't take iron supplements because they upset my stomach. They're inexpensive and delicious (if not overcooked). I eat them with onions over whole wheat pasta.

    red beans and rice are inexpensive, easy and rich in iron have with steamed broccoli and a spinach salad. Yum.

    Have you tried Floradix? It is just a spoonful of juices, and you can even add it to something. Don't mix it with dairy or calcium (the iron binds into a paste with calcium). Don't take it with tea (green or black), because the tannins interfere with absorption. Vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron.
