Where in the world do you find tofu for a dollar?!?

1. It would be nice if you actually listed where you could find some of these things for $1 or so the title claims.

2. Make an option for view as one page. It is absolutely annoying to refresh the damn page every single time you want to move to the next item rather than just make a quick list people can browse. Increasing your page views this way is not helping anything.

Cool food ideas, however they don’t cover the cost of the ingredients to make many of these things edible. Nobody wants to sit down for a meal of plain tofu.

I agree, I have never seen tofu of any kind for a dollar.

While I appreciate this article helping people find healthier, cheaper food and learning to cook more for themselves…

…the sad fact is that we should not be paying these high prices at the grocery store. The high cost of our groceries as well as gas, heat, power bills which are driving everyone into poverty…are all because of Wall Street Speculating on our necessities.

It hasn’t always been this way. Goldman Sachs created the GSCI(Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) to begin speculating on our food.

A few deregulations and here we are!

In the first 55 days of 2008, speculators poured $55 billion into commodity markets, and by July, $318 billion was roiling the markets. Food inflation has remained steady since.

Wheat has gone from $4 to $25 on Speculation alone! Stop Goldman Sachs from ripping off the world!!

No where in this article does it say “healthy MEALS for $1″…these are just good places to start, people. You can almost always make food at home for cheaper than eating out (even that gross McDonald’s burger someone was speaking of). Prices will vary for all of these items from state to state and city to city, however, you can always find ways to get food on the cheap. I’ve lived in some of the most expensive cities in the country (Boston and LA) and have always found healthy ways to eat affordable food.

Nice article.

At Whole Foods, the only store I can think of that carries store-brand tofu, a 12 ounce package is 1.50. That’s the cheapest I have ever seen it anywhere. And that is at least two servings, possibly three or four.

You did mention yogurt, but I have found that one of the best deals nutrition-wise is Greek yogurt. At my local Publix there is always at least one brand that is on sale. For a main course at lunch it’s very filling and high in protein.

GREAT link! THANK YOU! I’m headinf over to check it out right now!

List of 25 things, presented as one item per click?
Already not thrilled with the site’s obvious page view manipulation.

First two things are tofu and sardines?
Seen enough. Done. Won’t willingly come back to this site.

Why comment rather than just abandon?
Perhaps a site owner or designer is interested enough to read and try to understand their customers.

canned tomatoes, are you kidding me??!?!??! BPA..hello..

While I agree that most of these choices are healthy, canned tomatoes, tuna, and tinned sardines can often be high in sodium.
I must admit, I now carry a list of these and other healthy foods with me in my journeys out for food shopping. Grocery outlet, Dollar store, and Fresh and Easy discount areas often have tofu, and it can be frozen. Making my own nut butters , using honey to sweeten, has been a big budget help.

Yeah, the ‘water’ is made with coconut water… which is most definitely more than $1.00
