Eating well on a budget: some ideas

Eating well can get expensive. Organic foods are quite a bit more expensive than regular ones, and when you're trying to grab something on the go, it's definitely the processed junk that's cheaper and more convenient to pick up. In a perfect world, it would be the opposite--healthy eaters would pay less for food--but we have to make the best of what we're given and try to find a way to save money and eat well.

For the frugal health nut, Yahoo Health's expert nutritionist has come out with a list of some really cheap and healthy meals that you can get pick up for $2 or less.

And here's my own tip -- next summer, why not consider planting a garden? Depending on where you live, you can grow your own fruits and veggies, though if you're green thumb is severely lacking (like mine is -- my man does all the gardening,) consider growing at least your own herbs.
