8. Canned Tuna

For good health, experts recommend eating fish at least twice a week. Since wild caught salmon can be super expensive, don’t forget about tuna! Pick light, canned tuna over albacore tuna for lower levels of mercury. An average six-ounce can is considered to be two servings and costs about 99 cents, on average. Even if you eat an entire can, spending 99 cents on a can of healthy tuna fish beats the heck out of a 99 cent fast food burger.

 

9. Whole Wheat Pita Bread

Is there anything you can’t make out of a pita pocket? Sandwiches, individual pizzas, flatbread appetizers — anything you can think of! On average, you can buy a package with six pita pockets for about $1.79. This works out to about 30 cents per pita. Kids are especially fond of pita pockets, and they are so much healthier than white bread!

 

10. Lentils

These aren’t as popular in America as they are in other countries, but look online for ways to cook them and you will soon look forward to eating them. Lentils are great in soups, stews, salads, and casseroles. They cook quickly, and do not require any pre-soaking, so you can substitute lentils for rice as a nice change of pace. Lentils are super inexpensive, too. A one-pound bag of lentils runs about $1.29 on average, which make lentils about 10 cents per serving! Don’t be fooled by their tiny size. Like rice, lentils swell once they are cooked!
