I ran across this article and wanted to share!
Here is just a few examples of the 20 healthiest food sunder $1. The article is great, and provides explanation and food preparation/recipe suggestions for each food:
Oats
Bananas
Broccoli
Garbanzo Beans
Nuts
Wild Rice
Beets
Pumpkin Seeds
...and more!
Do you already use these ingredients in your food? If so, how do you prepare the meals? (Especially beets...how do you make them taste good?!) :-)

Thanks for sharing this article, very informative. :)
A comment:
Oats - should not be instant, but old-fashioned, preferably steel cut, for the best nutritional values.
Eggs - go for Omega-3, if you can find them, or organic range-free. People, including me, have been cautioned against whole eggs because of the cholesterol content. However, this Harvard study dispels that notion.
Nuts - think "PAW" for pecans, almonds and walnuts for guilt-free snacking or to add to so many foods.
Wild rice - really does cost more than white rice, have you checked the price per pound, lately? All the same, wild rice gives a wonderful nutty flavor to brown rice, so combining the two is a tasty, healthy combination.
Glycemic index - this wasn't taken into consideration in the article, so I'm going to mention this. If you must watch your blood sugar, you also need to be aware of the natural sugars in some foods, like beets, for example.
