I think it is possible to eat healthy on a budget. While I may have thought otherwise, I ran my own personal experiment and found it is possible.
With my budget in mind, last time I went grocery shopping I didn't make a list (first mistake), went before eating dinner so I was already hungry (second mistake), and ended up spending around $85 for foods that were good, but not healthy, like pizza bites and corn dogs.
Now that the summer is approaching and my own personal angst against eating heavy meals when it's hot out, I've decided to become a pescetarian for the next few months, with the occasional skin-less chicken breast thrown in. So, this week I purchased lots of fruits and vegetables, salmon, pasta, and some other miscellaneous healthy bites.
Anyway, without intentionally trying to save more money than last week, but simply purchasing sale items, I spend $88. So, it is possible to eat healthy on a diet and still enjoy a delicious meal.
