Cheap - and healthy - foods
If I had a nickel for every time someone told me they couldn't afford to eat healthy foods, I'd be rich.
Food and Health Communications just posted a handy chart that lists the cost per ounce of several different foods. You can use it to compare the value of the foods you routinely purchase by dividing the cost of the food by the number of ounces in the package. Simple and easy, right?
To compare, many packaged cookies, cookies, crackers and other processed foods that are high in calorie density and low in fiber are upwards of .30 per ounce! Shop store specials, look for store brands and compare unit pricing to find the best deals near you. And remember, the more you cook the more you save!
