Getting Healthy

Generally I buy food based upon unit pricing. For frozen dinners, I look for items in the 20-23 cent per ounce range. Then when I find items, I look to see if I would eat them. Some items, such as Mexican or spicy items automatically get eliminated regardless of the price. If I can’t find items in this range or lower, I may opt for a higher price range, but generally I just wait another week to see what is on sale.

So my dilemma lately has been that in my price range is only “Healthy” items. This is unusual because health items are usually more expensive then the ones loaded with salt and butter and “good” ingredients. Unlike the commercials suggestion, I find that these items generally don’t live up to my taste expectations.

So what is a guy to do when cheap and healthy meet?
