- mkr-hn 16y agoStuff labeled "healthy" tends to be, but you can make healthy food for cheap. You can make a lot of meals out of a couple dollars in ingredients. Example: http://imgur.com/RYSLX http://imgur.com/RYSLX [1] and http://imgur.com/xjJXR http://imgur.com/xjJXR [2] That could be made for a dollar or two, and it's easy to make stuff like that quickly and with different ingredients. I'd feel pretty content eating like that every day, and most of the parts are things you can freeze. [1] Tuna + slightly melted shredded cheddar + cucumbers + salad mix + hot salsa + boiled egg + pepper [2] Cabbage base, tuna, carrots, mozarella cheese, bell pepper

- Florin_Andrei 16y agoHealthy, cheap, and time effective. Pick two, at most two and a half.
- yummyfajitas 16y agoHealthy food costs more per calorie. But most people with unhealthy food habits are fat, and therefore eat more calories than they need. Clearly they are not optimizing for cost.
- ams6110 16y agoIf by "healthy" you mean the certified organic stuff, free range animals, yes that can be expensive. But you can do a LOT better than the typical junk food diet for the same money at any "big box" supermarket.
