I feel your pain on that. I've had the trouble trying to find healthy foods that are cheap here, too. I try to get produce, but it either rots before I can eat it, looks bad in the produce section anyway so I don't buy it, or it's outrageously expensive. Recently, I found a solution that helped, and I'm not sure if you'll agree with it or not, but it is worth looking into. I found found that it's cheaper to order from the Schwan's people. You may find that their prices for some things may be a lot better and the food quality I have tried and found to be excellent. Just go to
www.schwans.com to try it out and compare prices and the food labels.
