Healthy Food Affordability
- Healthy food isn't always expensive; marketing buzzwords often inflate prices.
- Cheaper alternatives with equal nutritional value exist, especially in tinned/frozen aisles.
Tinned and Frozen Foods
- Choose tinned foods like fish, vegetables, and chickpeas, often retaining nutritional value.
- Opt for tins in brine/oil, checking for added sugar/salt; consider pulses as a protein alternative.
Pulses and Frozen Options
- Incorporate pulses (dried beans, lentils) as a cost-effective protein source, replacing pricey meat.
- Buy frozen fish fillets (without added sauces/coatings) and seasonal produce for year-round enjoyment.
