I was so excited to see this article! One of the biggest misconceptions about eating healthy is that it costs a ton. Not so! I recently helped a friend re-tool his grocery shopping to be healthier and it actually saved him a ton of money. Part of the reason people think it's expensive is because of the packaged "diet foods," which in reality you should probably be avoiding anyway. Stick to fruits and veggies (frozen of fresh), lean poultry, dry beans and whole grains (rice, pasta, oats) as your staples, and you can easily come in under your food budget. The bulk section is a great place to look for some of these. Of course that will mean cooking more at home and committing more time, but you know exactly what you're getting as opposed to a packaged diet meal. Check out a few budget friendly health items:
