Im constantly dismayed at the cry of Its too expensive to feed my family healthy, nutritious food or its cheaper to eat fast food. If you really want to eat clean and cheaply, you simply have to shop smart. Actually its not that hard, you just have to buy fresh, in season produce. In season equals an abundance resulting in a lower cost to you the consumer. Of course If you choose sweet corn and strawberries in winter you will pay the earth, but buy them in summer and they are one of the cheapest items available. Buying in season usually means you are also buying local produce, not imported, chilled, items that have travelled for days before arriving in store. Tonight I cooked a balanced, nutritious dinner that could quite easily have fed four people (instead it fed one with a lot of left overs) for under $10:00, that is $2:50 per serve! Really McDonalds is cheaper? I made a fresh white fish and cauliflower bake, covered with a small amount of homemade cheese sauce, topped with mashed potato, served with fresh asparagus. Easy, delicious, cost effective. Please dont tell me its too hard to make healthy food on a budget. $4:00 White fresh fish $ :40 1/5 of a cauliflower $ :50 4 potatoes $ :20 sprinkle of frozen peas $2:00 homemade cheese sauce $1:50 half a bunch of asparagus
