THE 7 CHEAPEST HEALTHY FOODS

Score essential nutrients without spending a ton of cash
Think your groceries are expensive? Last winter, residents of a remote Canadian village were paying $28 for a head of cabbage and $65 for a pound of chicken.It's unlikely such absurd food costs will trickle south, but they are creeping up—and when prices rise, diets typically tank. That's ironic, too, because some of the healthiest foods in the world are also among the cheapest. Even eating organic isn't that expensive if you stick with basics and get creative with your cooking. So put down the 99-cent can of Beefaroni and stock your shelves full of The 7 Cheapest Healthy Foods.

Bonus Tip: Swap cauliflower for spuds in your next batch of mashed potatoes and you'll take in 30 fewer grams of carbs. Rodale.com tells you how and gives you more weight-loss tips in 7 Food Swaps That Will Make You Skinny.
