Inexpensive & Healthy Food

Grains and starches 

Oats: A whole-grain staple rich in fiber, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

Brown rice: A whole-grain base for meals that is more nutritious than white rice and keeps for a long time.

Potatoes: A nourishing and wallet-friendly food high in fiber, potassium, and magnesium.

Whole wheat pasta: A budget-friendly, filling, and healthy whole-grain option. 

Protein

Eggs: Nutrient-dense and a perfect meal on their own.

Beans and lentils: Inexpensive and versatile sources of plant-based protein and fiber. Use dried or choose low-sodium canned options.

Canned fish: A good source of protein, especially tuna and salmon packed in water.

Plain yogurt or cottage cheese: A high-protein dairy option. 

Fruits and vegetables

Frozen or canned produce: Often cheaper than fresh and just as nutritious; choose options without added sugar or salt, or with 100% juice.

Carrots: High in vitamins, fiber, and beta-carotene.

Bananas: A convenient and inexpensive snack.

Apples: A readily available and affordable fruit.

Canned tomatoes: An inexpensive pantry staple for sauces and soups.
