I break down options for each meal of the day – Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner… and even some ideas for healthy desserts – to help you eat healthy on a budget!
These recommendations are based on what I buy every single week at the grocery store.
I know it’s getting harder for families to stretch their grocery budgets at the moment, but I want to give you some hope that it’s still possible to eat healthy, even on a modest budget.
One of the keys is to standardize your meals each week so you know what you’re cooking before you head out to the store. You’ll find that this will help you avoid spending on unnecessary items and also cut down on waste.
Often, a lot of a families budget gets spent on packaged snacks (often marketed on their packets as a ‘healthy option’, like Granola bars or similar). In this video, I give you much healthier options for snacks that will cost you less and be much healthier.
It probably won’t surprise you that simple meals with a low number of ingredients and few sauces or condiments are the healthiest options for you. They’re also quicker and easier to cook while giving your family a much healthier diet for less cost.
I hope these tips help you! Please join the conversation and comment on your favorite low cost foods or meals.

In 2022, flat of 60 eggs cost $33.43. I literally could barely afford eggs on my small budget. In 2026, the same 60 eggs costs $7.12 at the same Walmart.
Crazy how chicken breast he says are $2lb a couple of years ago now chicken breast is $5 a lb here in Tx and go us as you get the more organic chicken 😢
This video was great and inspirational. You've got the fire lit in me to start doing better for myself an the kids. Ty for the info.
Ok but you know what crazy cheap meal prep i recently discovered? 1800s meal prep. Water gruel for breakfast alternating with bread and cheese.
Diet advice online felt confusing and overwhelming.
Healix AI simplified everything with real insights.
Finally understandable. 🔬
Everything avocado wish i could eat, severely allergic
I was with you until you said green bananas🤢 There is nothing in the world that can even begin to describe the nastiness that is unripe bananas🤣
Organic produce at my local Walmart costs less than nonorganic. Not sure if it’s because my location, organic isn’t as much of a big deal as a big city or if that’s just normal cost these days.
Yeah, well….eggs in 2025 are like $200/dozen 😂
Great tips and ideas, but you should really do more research on the info you're spreading about "organic"… organic doesn't mean free of pesticides, and it isn't as beneficial as you're lead to believe. Let's do some more research here folks
eggs have gone UP and that bread is over 7& avocado too are expensive.
Bro forgot I can’t afford a Costco membership
I wonder how much them eggs are now? 😂😂
Wait, 1:55 minutes into the video. You're saying there are pesticides in regular food, but hype up Mission organic tortillas? so Mission uses pesticides on their original tortillas and not on ORGANIC tortillas? Maybe im dumb..
Your prices are definitely not realistic for cali 😭 but thank you for the meals reference because those are definitely meals that don’t cost as much as eating out🤞🏼
1:00 eggs goin crazy rn 😢.
12 eggs $6-15….💔🥚
