Healthiest Cheap Foods in America

According to Men's Health these are the healthiest cheap foods in America:

Breakfast food: Eggs $1.84/dozen

Grain: Dried Lentils $1.18/lb

Cooking Oil: Canola Oil $0.31/lb

Brown Bagged Fruit: Banana $.63/lb

 Berry: Frozen Blueberries $1.75/lb

Vegetable: Cauliflower $0.33 lb

Pork: Pork Loins $3.28/lb

Beef: Top Sirloin $1.52/lb

Poultry: Chicken Leg $1.48/lb (can also buy brozen chicken breasts)

Fish: Farmed Catfish $2.52/lb

Obviously, these aren't the "healthiest" but they are the healthiest cheap foods. Well, like I guess I already said. I think it was pretty neat to see, as as college student not having much money, how I can go cheap but don't have to eat crapola. Maybe this will help my large healthy store shopping days where I buy 55 bucks worth of food for one person. Whatever. I saved like 9 buckeroos.

Speaking of saving. Look out for those coupons. There are a TON of websites online that allow for cheaper purchases. Then you can get the GOOD good stuff. Freeze things before the get all nasty moldy. Plan ahead. You can do ittttt. So can I. I am trying. I prepared my lunch last night, you proud? Well it was only a turkey sandwhich, carrot stick, and apple but who is counting?



Okay. It took like two seconds. But STILL. I made it the night before. I also made my breakfast last night. It was a long grueling process of putting pb on one slice of bread covered in bananas. I mean, it took a lot of work but I pushed through until the end.

Another cool thing I found on Men's Health (I wasn't looking at Men's Health, I was actually looking at Eat This not That...which is from Men's Health. So stop judgin :) ) Anyway, I found a list of grocery items that were graded A-D, information about them, and how many calories were in them. Kinda nifty. I always wonder if things are good or bad, who's lying, and who's not, so I figured I'd trust the men this time.

Speaking of men. Will someone kidnap my fiance so I can have him back now? That'd be really cool. Thanks.
