Senior in College= heatlthy food expensive and no time

I eat on a budget of $50-$75 every two weeks. This covers fruits, vegetables (frozen are a dollar a bag and can last about three days!), lean meats (frozen can also be cheap when you do the math on how many servings per bag), eggs, and snack bars like cliff (sometimes they are a dollar each if you find them at the right store). I buy mainly fruits that I can divvy out over a week like apples, bananas, watermelon, and cantelope. A watermelon (in season) is HUGE, and lasts me two weeks!

I also make meals for a week in advance which helps to make the food last longer, and makes eating fast and easy ( microwave vegetables with water to steam, then add spice and wala!) Lean meats with vegetables and rice don't go bad quickly, and are easy to pop in the microwave and cook!

Someone mentioned Aldi and that's what my first thought was too, or Trader Joe's. Do you have one in your town? Hard boiled eggs are good and easy, suger free pudding and jello if this is something you eat (make it yourself and put in tiny plastic containers-cheap), make your own egg mcmuffins and freeze (light english muffins, egg, 1/2 slice of cheese, slice of thin sandwich ham), I love steel-cut oats and you can make ahead of time and portion out for the week (Quaker is expensive but look in the health food section and there are often ones that are actually less expensive. :-)
