I agree root veggies are cheap, but root veggies aren’t necessarily healthy! They’re obviously healthier than straight white bread but if your diet is primarily root vegetables you run into high carbs and the like still. Roasted carrots and onions can be very sugary.
Edited to add I don’t find fruits particularly cheap either. For example I love white peaches, but dear god are white peaches expensive even in peak season.
- galleywest200 2y agoFarmer's markets tend to have very cheap vegetables. Factory second stores like Grocery Outlet often have great deals on vegetables. As well Food Banks generally do not means test if you need to get something _very_ cheap or free.
- magicalhippo 2y agoThere are several farms not far from my cabin, some have started selling directly. One has some of the tastiest cauliflower I've ever had, lightly steamed they're a gourmet meal in itself. Lots of other good stuff too. While not cheap-cheap, they're less expensive than the grocery store, and much better. And farmer gets a fairer share.
