11. Tea

Since you are going to be dumping sodas from your grocery list, you are going to have plenty of room for tea. Depending on the brand and type of tea you choose, you can buy a good quality tea for about 10 to 20 cents a bag. Tea is loaded with healthy antioxidants and is known to lower the risk of heart attack. Be careful not to buy super cheap teas (such as those from China), as they can contain pesticides. Stick with store brands or brands that you are familiar with.  Even children like flavored teas such as peppermint, orange, or raspberry.

 

12. Oranges

You gotta love these cheery little orange balls of sunshine! Everyone loves the taste, and they are super delicious whether you eat them as they are or drink them as juice. They are also a natural flavoring for cooked foods such as pork or chicken. One average-sized orange has all the vitamin C you need for one day! Since most people eat navel oranges, you can buy conventional as the thick peel saves the fruit inside from becoming contaminated. At certain times of the year, oranges cost about 99 cents a pound! On average, you can pick up a nice, juicy orange for your lunch for about 34 cents! What a bargain!

 

13. Peanut Butter

If you have a few minutes, you can make your own by simply grinding up some fresh peanuts and a drop or two of olive oil in your blender. However, if you don’t feel comfortable with that, commercial peanut butter is still a terrific bargain. Peanut butter is healthy, has tons of vitamin E, zinc, healthy fats, and protein. To avoid partially hydrogenated fats, look for a brand that states it only contains peanuts and salt. Buying store brands can save you some serious bucks. On average, a typical two-tablespoon serving is only about 20 cents.
