Believe it or not, there are many foods that you can by that are less than one dollar. Yes, I said less than one dollar!
Apples are one of these cheap foods that are very healthy for you. And they usually cost from 40 cents to 80 cents each.
An apple is a great snack you can enjoy with caramel, a salad, or pretty much anything for that matter.
Another great food that is, again, less than a dollar is a banana.
A banana cost about 45 cents and contains 121 calories, 3.5 grams of fiber, 14% your daily value for potassium, and 20% your daily value in vitamin C.
Oranges at the insane price of 40 cents, contain a daily value of vitamin C of 200%.
Other foods such as a bag of baby carrots, pears, yogert, canned beans, and canned tomatos all cost under a dollar and give people nutrition will having good flavor.
All of these foods are alternate choices for the unhealthy dollar foods such as the junior bacon cheese burger, crispy chicken sandwich, the mcdouble, and a five piece chicken nuggets that you can buy from many fast food places. So next time, hit up a grocery store instead and get a couple bananas, apples, or whatever else healthier you can find.

Dear Sunpukingplanets,
ReplyDeleteWell isn't it great to know that there are healthy choices out there that we can turn to in our budget range?
Being a college student comes with its limits on our wallets. With the idea of saving money in our heads, I think that it is good to be healthy while we are at it.
However, I will probably save even more money by getting the fruit out of the Caf.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BLOGGING!!!
Sincerely yours, Sebastian
dear sunpukingplanets,
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed your post!
everyone else has been writing about all the unhealthy things we eat, but you chose the alternative.
I'm usually not a fruit eater, but i'm a broke college student, and I can't afford to buy fast food all the time. You've actually helped me consider eating cheaper, AND healthier.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!
