Obviously, stay away from overly greasy foods like fast food. Stay away from potato chips and sugary ice-cream bars. They are good for nothing. Frozen TV dinners are disgusting and un-filling (in my opinion) and I know they are cheaper but as long as they are unfilling, they will have you coming back to eat more, making you spend more money. I suggest buying organic fruits and veggies, and using them to cook your own meals. NEVER buy fruits from a can......they are usually drenched in high fructose corn syrup which is unhealthy. Raw and organic is probably cheaper (at least where I'm from) and much healthier. Also, try to look for the large bags of dry beans and rice, they are usually MUCH cheaper to buy this way, you can saturate the beans on your own usually over a 6-8 hour period of time, and white rice is very easy to cook. I like to shop either at food4less or costco because I buy large bulk sizes for a good price. There's a new Whole Foods opening up close to where I live and they have a ton of organic foods, it'll be easier for me to carry out my vegetarian diet when I start shopping there.
Basically, it's healthier and probably cheaper to home cook your own meals. And if you have a spare $20-$35, you can buy a small charcoal BBQ pit and BBQ lean turkey, or lean chicken. (by lean, I mean boneless, skinless, and usually about 97% fat free) BBQ is better because you aren't drenching or cooking your food in oil or fat. On a BBQ pit, all the grease drips down into the pit. And the food will still taste GREAT!
I hope this helps!
