Eating healthy doesn’t have to drain your wallet. In this episode of Ask a Nutritionist, dietitian Amy Crum breaks down the most affordable real foods to buy— and the “healthy” items that just aren’t worth your money. You’ll hear smart ways to plan meals, shop intentionally, stretch your protein budget, and stock your kitchen with nutrient-dense foods that won’t go bad before you use them. Amy also covers how to reduce food waste, make the most of frozen produce, buy meat more affordably, and build simple budget-friendly meals that keep you full and energized.
