Oatmeal is a nutritional winner and very inexpensive if you buy a container of plain, old-fashioned oatmeal.

]]> 45612 2 48 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/48.jpg Stretch your milk Stretch your milk dollars by diluting a can of evaporated milk or some powdered milk with water to create whole milk.

]]> 45613 3 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/55.jpg Stock up on frozen veggies Stock up on frozen vegetables when they go on sale. Unless your produce was just picked, it’s just as healthy — or even more so — to eat the frozen stuff, which locks in the nutrients.

]]> 45614 4 66 Tip Canned vegetables are another cheap alternative to fresh, but rinse them before eating because many are loaded with salt.

]]> 45615 5 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/72.jpg Eat fruits in season Limit your fruit purchases to whatever is in season, the exception being bananas and apples. The former are relatively inexpensive year-round, and the latter are low in calories, high in fiber, and may reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.

]]> 45616 6 87 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/87.jpg Snack happy Enjoy healthy snacks without spending a fortune by air popping corn kernels and buying nutritious nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, and peanuts. Buy in bulk.

]]> 45617 7 98 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/98.jpg Limit meat consumption Only eat meat two or three times a week, and make cheap meats as tender and tasty as pricier cuts by marinating them overnight or slow-cooking them in a Crock-Pot.

]]> 45618 8 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/109.jpg Eat alternative proteins Make the most of alternative sources of protein, like peanut butter, eggs, chunk light tuna (which is not only the cheapest kind of tuna, but also contains the least mercury), and beans.

]]> 45619 9 120 Tip Buy bagged beans in bulk — the kind you soak overnight. They’re cheaper and healthier than canned beans, which are high in sodium.

]]> 45620 10 127 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/127.jpg Eat brown rice Eat brown rice. It’s a bit pricier than white, but much better for you and still a nutritional bargain.

]]> 45621 11 134 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/34675/134.jpg Indulge in dessert Indulge in desserts by making them from scratch using nutritious ingredients that you have on hand. Bake your own oatmeal and peanut butter cookies; mash and freeze overripe bananas for “ice cream”; bake bruised apples with a little honey.

]]> 45622 12 148 Fact As of 2007, 8.5% of the American household budget went to food eaten at home, down from 19% in 1960.
