How to Eat Well on a Budget
While you can spend a fortune on prime cuts and seafood delicacies, you don't have to -- you can eat well on a budget.
Eat eggs. When I was in college, I nearly lived on eggs, the perfect food. Even if you buy organic eggs at $3.00 a dozen, you are spending only 25 cents an egg, or less than a dollar for a very filling meal of the highest quality protein.
Brown-bag it. Taking your lunch and eating more home-cooked meals is a lot more economical – and better for you – than eating out. If you shop according to the guidelines, you know for sure what you’re eating.
Snack on fruits and nuts. Avoid processed and snack foods that can rack up the bucks, calories, starches and trans fats. Nuts make very satisfying and nutritious snacks and an apple, pear or peach makes some of the least expensive snacks.
Watch for sales. There’re specials even for organic foods.
Buy a simple carbon water filter for your kitchen faucet. If your tap water tests safe, you can save money from not having to buy bottled water.
