healthy Snacks - On The Cheap!

It happened again--yet other headline this week insinuating that only the wealthy can afford to eat healthy. This just drives me crazy! Obviously, some health foods are going to be more high-priced then their unhealthy counterparts, but I resent when the media puts out these types of articles. It tends to put the idea in people's heads that they shouldn't even bother to try to eat healthy--it's just too expensive. So not true!!! and an extra! because I positively mean this. Everyone can afford to eat healthy. All it takes is some creativity and a dinky research. Snacking is a great way to add amazing food to your day, and it doesn't need to be expensive. A bag of unhealthy chips most people eat in one or two servings is going to run you more than some very nutritious alternatives.

To prove my point, I've figured out the cost of 12 salutary snacks per serving. For almost all, I looked at my local grocery store without using coupons or finding for sales. Serving sizes were simply used from the packages. For the granola and nuts, it's much economy to find a store that offers these items in bulk. If your quarterly grocery store doesn't offer them, go to your local health food store to find grains and nuts in bulk bins.

I have to admit, the results even surprised me. I list them here from most high-priced to cheapest:
