It’s a common myth that eating healthy has to be expensive. But, my fellow seasoned citizens, I’m here to tell you that it’s simply not true.

It’s entirely possible to nourish your body, delight your taste buds, and still keep your wallet happy. How, you ask? Well, put on your reading glasses, because we’re about to dive into the exciting world of budget nutrition.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are the superheroes of any diet, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. And guess what? They don’t have to be fresh off the vine to be good for you.

Frozen fruits and veggies are often just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts, and can be significantly cheaper, especially when out of season.
