Yahoo really caught my attention today. “The 20 Healthiest Foods for Under a Dollar” is definitely an article I need to bookmark and use often. Living as a single parent, it’s hard to make ends meet paying all the expenses of a two-income family on one, solomother income.
Oatmeal. Eggs. Kale. Beets. Watermelon. Where I live, even a half dozen eggs is around $2, and watermelon — when did watermelon get so expensive? But Brie Cadman has a point. There are plenty of delicious foods that are inexpensive and full of what’s good for us. So next time you’re at the store, pick up some whole grain pasta and wild rice instead of your white spaghetti and Uncle Ben’s. Look at the price of that expensive breakfast cereal and reach for the oatmeal once in a while.
Make a batch of oatmeal cookies with the kid sometimes instead of buying a package at the store.
Have fun exploring the the farmers’ markets, trying new produce.
Life is good, especially in the summertime.
