Affording Healthy Foods

There's a common misconception that making healthy purchases at the store costs more. Actually, healthy foods can be more affordable than unhealthy foods. Here's an example of what you can get for about $20 at a fast food restaurant versus what you can buy and cook at home. Impressive!

  • 1 lb. 96% lean ground beef
  • 32 oz. tub of light vanilla yogurt
  • 18 oz. canister of oatmeal
  • 1 lb. frozen green peas
  • 1 lb. dried kidney beans

For under $10 you can buy:

  • 1 box (30 oz.) Chicken Taquitos and 1 bag of hot Cheetos
OR
  • 1 loaf 100% whole-wheat bread
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 lb. baby carrots
  • 1 lb. bananas
  • 1 lb. bag frozen broccoli florets

For around $5 you can buy:
