Default Re: Healthy Diet on a Budget?

Well, an obvious snack is fruit. You can get bananas really cheap and apples go on sale frequently. If you have a fridge at work (or can pack an ice pack in your lunch) you can get unsweetened applesauce (store brand in a big jar) for about $.50 a pound. Seasonal fruits are often really cheap if you wait for them. Veggies like carrots might fit the bill too. (I always buy the mini peeled ones because I'm lazy, but I think even those are usually less than $1 a pound.) Okay, now that I've talked about the easy stuff I'll leave the harder things to somebody else
