Yeah I kno what u mean, sometime is much cheaper to just eat unhealhty. But you have to look at portion sizes. Don’t over buy and think you will go through it all. start off with small amounts, eat it and then go for more last time. the think with fruit n veggies is we often buy them in the supermarket thinking we will eat it but then goes off before we do.

really eating healthy isnt hard, its real easy, all you got to remember is calories arent all bad, just the calorie from fat, watch out for those, if u wanna get veggies in your diet get v8 and a good multivitamin, i use mens sport, but there are alot in GNC go check that out, if your trying to lose weight and eat healthy, the multivitamin is the way to go

well you need to decide what really mean when you say ” eating health” obvioously the roman noodles and not tha t health for they don’t have any nutirents your body needs, but fruit give your body a lot of vitmains that are going to help you a lot more in the end. If it is a money issue, try cutting things out that you know are not helathy. I don’t know if soda or candy etc is on your list at all but cutting that out would leave you a bigger chucnk on money to get what you need.
Try off brand items, and use cupons. for fruit go to farmers makrets.

Buy frozen so they last longer. Join Costco or Sams Club and buy in bulk.

I thought eating healthy was costly to, But if you think about it it cost the same as eating non healthy junk foods. If your not spending money on sodas, pizzas, tv dinners,cookies, precooked dinners ,ceral, fast food.And you buy veggies,fruits,nuts and seeds and salmon, tuna and less meat more chicken. You spend around the same amount for me i am saving money . The most important thing for your health is free Water and it fills you up.

frozen fruits and veggies can be very economical. also local farmers markets are a good place to buy produce, etc. check the local dollar store, etc. many of them sell produce.
