1. Cooked Black Beans
Cost per serving 7 cents
Calories per serving 114
Actually, most kinds of beans – black, pinto, garbanzo, lentil— are low in fat, and provide you with important fiber, folic acid, calcium, zinc and potassium.  Dry beans take work to prepare; canned beans are a lot easier.  Just make sure to rinse the beans well before using.  Mix them in salads, soups or casseroles, or serve with rice. 

2.  Eggs
Cost per serving 9 cents
Calories per serving 78
Eggs provide plenty of protein for not much money.  Plus, there are so many ways to prepare them – scrambled, fried, sunny-side up, or hard-boiled for sandwiches and salads.

3.  Cooked noodles
Cost per serving 13 cents
Calories per serving 166
Noodles go with everything.  They’re a side dish, or good in a casserole or soup.  The whole wheat ones are even better for you, although they do cost a bit more.

4. Oats (Old-Fashioned or Quick)
Cost per serving: 19 cents
Calories per serving 140
An 18-ounce container or oats costs around $2.29 (on sale) and each container contains about 13 servings (if 1/2-cup of dry oats is a serving).  Oatmeal is filling, has plenty of fiber and you can also make your own granola and muffins with it.

5. Frozen Vegetables
Cost per serving: Around 25 cents
Calories per serving: 82 (for mixed vegetables)
Frozen vegetables come in 12-ounce to 24-ounce bags that cost anywhere from $1.75 to $2.25 and contain 6-8 cups, depending on the vegetable and the size of the bag.   I like them because they keep a long time, don’t need any chopping, and cook quickly in the microwave.

6. Potato (Russet)
Cost per serving: About 23 cents per potato
Calories per serving: 168 calories
Potatoes are great whether you have them mashed, boiled, or baked.  Just avoid the fattening toppings; stick to a little butter or margarine, or pile them with broccoli and melt some low-fat cheese on top.

7. Canned Tuna (solid white albacore or chunk light in water)
Cost per serving (3 oz): About 62 cents
Calories per serving: 70
Tuna is healthy for you, filled with protein, and it’s so quick and convenient, too.  Use it in salads, casseroles, or just plain.

8. Bananas
Cost per serving (1 banana): about 20 cents
Calories per serving: 100
Bananas are an easily portable source of fiber, potassium and vitamin B6.  Eat them plain, slice them into cereal, or blend them into healthy shakes.

9. Apples
Cost per serving (1 apple): about 60 cents
Calories per serving: 80
Apples are full of fiber and make a great snack anytime. 

10. Lowfat Milk
Cost per serving (8 oz.):  about 35 cents
Calories per serving: 100
Milk is rich in protein, vitamins A and D, potassium, and niacin, and is one of the easiest ways to get bone-strengthening calcium.
