Seven of the Healthiest Ways to Spend a Dollar at the Grocery Store:

According to an article on DivineCaroline.com, the easiest way to shop cheap and healthy at the grocery store is to spend as little time in the aisles as possible. That's because things like fruits, vegetables, milk, and grains are usually in the outermost sections of the store.  And the aisles in the middle of the store are mostly filled with processed food that's more expensive. Here's a list of the seven healthiest ways to spend a dollar at the supermarket.

 #1.)  A Week's Worth of Oats.  They're high in fiber and complex carbohydrates.  And if you have high cholesterol, oatmeal can lower it.

#2.)  A Half-Dozen Eggs.  They're one of the cheapest sources of protein you can find.  And research shows that the antioxidants in eggs can help prevent age-related issues with your eyesight.

 

#3.)  Five Bananas.  They're high in potassium and fiber, and they cost as little as 20 cents each.  So for a dollar a week, you can have a banana at work every single day.  That's the same price as one bag of chips from the vending machine.

#4.)  A Can of Garbanzo Beans.  Unless they're refried, basically ANY kind of beans are good for you because they have protein and fiber.  But garbanzo beans are also high in iron, folate, manganese, and might lower cholesterol too.

#5.)  Spinach.  You can get a big bushel of it for around a buck, and it's high in vitamin C, iron, and calcium.

#6.)  Yogurt.  A single-serving of yogurt costs about a dollar, and it's rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.

#7.)  Coffee.  It's loaded with antioxidants that can help prevent heart disease and cancer.  And if you make it at home, it's WAY less than a dollar a cup.
