How to eat healthy, on a budget

This one hits home for me because I've always had a horrible time eating right on a tight grocery budget, but apparently it can be done:
Tip #1: Substitute frozen vegetables for fresh because they're cheaper and will keep longer. Okay...this might work sometimes, but not all frozen vegetables taste the same as fresh ones! The article's answer to this is to buy fresh produce when it's in season.
Tip#2: (I think this is a good one) Canned tuna and salmon make great add-ins for whole grain brown rice and pasta, and they're almost always inexpensive.
Tip#3: Substitute ground turkey for ground beef in your favorite meals.
Like anything, not all tips will work for all people. There's more in the article on eDiets.com, including some yummy and quick chicken and pasta recipes.
