No matter what your financial situation is, if you are someone who struggles to make healthy meals without breaking the bank, this is the guide for you. Healthy eating does take a bit more elbow grease, but it’s rewards far outweigh the cons.
Soup
Making soup at home is super affordable, because you only need vegetables and water, and you have something amazing. Whether you want to go for a pureed soup like carrot or zucchini, or a vegetable soup like minestrone, making soup is one of the best dishes to make on a dime.
Dried Beans
Although buying beans in a can is still very affordable, making them from scratch is even more so. Normally a pound of beans only costs a couple of dollars, and it produces twice or sometimes three times as much end product after they’ve been soaked and cooked. The trick with beans is to change the water as much as you can, and you’ll get soft, evenly cooked beans every time.
Frozen Produce

Whether it’s vegetable or berries, buying foods frozen is a much better deal than fresh. It’s also healthier than canned food because there are no preservatives or additives in them. They will also keep for a long time so you can use just a little here and there.
