It may seem like the least expensive options in the grocery store are also the least nutritious, but there are actually some big-value powerhouse foods that are healthy for you and your family and easy to work into your meal plan. These five foods fit into even the tiniest grocery budgets and are very versatile. Frozen vegetables. These still tasty alternatives to fresh can cost less than 30 cents per serving, and are packed and flash frozen at the peak of ripeness, meaning you're still getting perfect produce. Dried beans. At 13 cents per serving, dried beans should find a spot in almost every meal. Oatmeal. For around 12 cents per serving, old fashioned oatmeal is great for you, and your wallet. And we've seen it served for dinner, to great reviews. Brown rice. For less than 16 cents per serving, think about subbing this savory staple in for pasta in some meals. Whole wheat pasta. Whole wheat pasta (and other whole grain foods) have been found to significantly lower ones' risk of developing type 2 diabetes, lessen chronic pain, and promote gastrointestinal health. For 20 cents per serving you just can't go wrong.
