Eating well on a budget: everyday foods count

2026-10-09 · Health in Action editorial team

A useful menu does not require exotic superfoods. Familiar ingredients can form the basis of varied meals.

Put it into practice

Beans, lentils, oats, eggs and seasonal vegetables offer many possibilities. Compare the price per kilogram, not just the price of a pack.

Things to keep in mind

Plan two or three dishes that share ingredients. Leftover vegetables can go into soup or an omelette instead of being thrown away.

Your next step

Educational information for adults. Seek individual professional advice for illness, pregnancy, injury or prescribed treatment.
