Eating Healthy on a Budget

Food prices are going up, incomes generally aren't, but eating healthy on a budget is absolutely possible. Instead of reaching for fast food that might seem cheap to your wallet but comes at a cost to your body, focus on buying whole foods and cooking them at home. The Environmental Working Group's guide to Good Food on a Tight Budget gives advice on making it affordable.

Cabbage packs bang for your buck.

Did you know that cabbage costs less than a dime a serving, less than even potatoes? Plus it's packed with fiber and antioxidants.  I love to keep purple cabbage on hand and make Asian slaw-style salads out of it. Unlike salad greens, cabbage keeps in the refrigerator for as long as a week.
