Fresh Healthy Food
How can I buy fresh fruits & vegetables & eat healthy if I can't afford it?
I'm on the EXTREMELY low income scale, & I find that unhealthy foods are cheaper & more readily available than healthy foods, & organic healthy foods are eve MORE expensive. I'd like to change my diet & eat right because my life is on the line. My health is at risk.I seriously find myself living off of HotPockets, corn dogs, & cereal & occasional unhealthy snacks. After paying all my bills, like rent & utilities, I only have like $60 for the month to stretch for food, & that's not good. I receive SSI & Social Security & I'm disabled, & if I work, I'll lose my medical benefits & insurance.
If I buy fruits & veggies alone, that would come up to like $45, & I just found out I'm anemic & my iron is low, so I was told I have to have meat & food from the breads & cereals group in my diet in order to increase my iron level.
Do you have any advice?
healthy and fresh does not mean expensive.
`buy brown rice. a pound of rice is usually around $1
`buy beans, a pound of dry beans is $1
and the canned beans are anywhere from 40-89 cents
beans are very nutritious, high in protein, iron and so many good stuff and low in fat and calories. and cheap
you can make lots of meals with beans like, bean dip, bean tacos with veggies, bean and rice burritos etc..
`tofu-verryyy high in protein and low in fat, $2 a block,and so many things to do with is like stir frys, in salad, sanwhiches, eaten raw, grilled, etc...
`buy a bag of potatoes, which is cheap and you can make lots of foods with them like you can make "French fries", baked potatoes, potato jacket, mashed potatoes, potatoes w/rice, etc..
`oatmeal-this is a really filling meal/healthy and makes an amazing breakfast! about $1-2 for 2 lbs.
`whole grain pasta, make spaghetti, macaroni salad, etc..
`whole wheat/whole grain bread; to make sandwiches, toast, etc..
`whole wheat tortillas to make burritos, veggie wraps, etc..
`soy milk and a healthy cereal box
`frozen vegetables are pretty cheap!
` buy 2lbs of mixed nuts to grab as snacks on the go and mixed dry fruit//very cheap and nutritious!
***********fruits and veggies!!!!!!!!!1**
get the fruits& veggies that are in season cause they are usually cheaper..
buy the store brand..don't buy junk foods and soda..it's more expensive and soo unhealthy.
think about it, a bag of chips is $1 and you eat the whole bag as a snack. and for $1 you can buy 3-5 apples, that is like one snack per day for a whole week!and they won't make you fat or give you diabetes! ...
drinking soda is a WASTE in every way..your wallet, your health, space, everythingg...
good luck xxoxoxoxoxox

Do you care about where your food comes from?
Do you care about where your food comes from?
Is this a serious concern of yours?
What do you do to provide yourself and others close to you with fresh healthy food?
Why might you be eating food that you know is not healthy?
Well I sort of care where my food comes from, but I don't want to pay attention because I may not like the answer I get.
It is a concern, but not much of a serious one.
I go to the health store and look at the ingredients sometimes. I even do research on healthy and non healthy foods sometimes.
I think that I eat non healthy food (fast food places) because the food tastes good. What kind of people don't like good tasting food...you know?
