Hey Reader,

Let’s talk about a common myth that keeps so many people from eating healthier…

👉 “Healthy food is too expensive.”

I get it—walk into a fancy health food store, and it can feel like eating well is only for people with unlimited grocery budgets.

But here’s the truth: some of the healthiest foods are actually the most affordable—and they’re available at any grocery store (not just the gourmet ones).

Budget-Friendly Healthy Staples

Next time you’re grocery shopping, focus on these nutrient-packed, low-cost foods:

✅ Beans & Lentils – Loaded with protein & fiber, plus way cheaper than meat. Buy them dry or canned for easy meals.
✅ Oats & Brown Rice – Super filling, easy to cook, and perfect for meal prep.
✅ Frozen Vegetables & Fruits – Just as nutritious as fresh (sometimes even more), and often way cheaper!
✅ In-Season Produce – Buying fresh fruits & veggies in season = better prices & better flavor.

Pro Tip: You can freeze your own in-season fruits and vegetables to use later.

​
✅ Eggs – I know the cost of eggs has gone up greatly but it is still one of the most cost-effective sources of protein compared to meats and fish.

Pro Tip: Try 2 egg whites for every whole egg. You still get all the protein and healthy nutrients of the egg yolk without the added cholesterol.

​
✅ Canned Tuna or Salmon – Budget-friendly, packed with protein & healthy fats. You can find the healthiest and most sustainable sources of seafood here: https://www.seafoodwatch.org/​
✅ Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes – Super filling, loaded with nutrients, and so versatile.

Save Even More with These Simple Hacks

💡 Buy in bulk. Staples like rice, oats, and dried beans are way cheaper when you buy in larger quantities.
💡 Shop local & seasonal. Farmers’ markets often have fresher produce at better prices than supermarkets. But, not always so pay attention to prices.
💡 Plan your meals. A little planning = fewer impulse buys & less food waste (which = big savings!).
💡 Skip the fancy labels. You don’t need organic everything—eating more whole, plant-based foods is the goal! Always refer to the dirty dozen to know what produce really needs to be organic.

What’s REALLY Expensive?

While processed junk food might seem cheap upfront, it costs more in the long run.

❌ Low-energy, sluggishness, and cravings that keep you buying more junk.
❌ Expensive doctor visits, medications, and long-term health problems.
❌ The cycle of feeling stuck, frustrated, and paying for quick fixes that don’t work.

Making small changes now can save you a ton—not just in grocery bills, but in how you feel every day.
