- JoJones, on 07/09/2008, -3/+71Thank goodness they are normal food. I was afraid it was going to be a bunch of nuts and berries. But maybe those are more than a buck.
- zakatov, on 07/09/2008, -1/+61Tuna! I can't believe they forgot tuna! Dirt cheap and almost 100% protein.
- djepik, on 07/09/2008, -13/+72Dugg for good suggestions
Burried for Divine Caroline
Dugg for saying coffee is healthy
net = 1 digg - HotDiggetyDugg, on 07/09/2008, -2/+50Except the banana.
- HeatherH88, on 07/09/2008, -1/+47Bananas are one of the best, cheapest snacks around =) Delicious!
- nads, on 07/09/2008, -17/+59Although the idea is right, there is no way of these items can be bought for under $1. If you wer actually going to make a meal out of a combinations of these ingredients I'm sure the cost would be far more than expected.
- socialdork, on 07/09/2008, -2/+44well I think they can all be bought for under a dollar each. So if you add them together yes they would cost more. I think the main point is you can actually buy healthy food that starts under a dollar in decent portion size. Potatoes and Apples for instance. If you swapped other veggie like asparagus you'd probably spend far more for less food.
- DiggieDarko, on 07/09/2008, -2/+42I know too many people who equate 'healthy' for 'organic', and then say they can't always afford it. This proves food can be nutritious and cheap, even if its not organic.
- pe5t1lence, on 07/09/2008, -0/+35Where is he getting Wild Rice for $1???
- likeyehokwhatev, on 07/09/2008, -1/+28I only eat eggs from organically grown, tofu-fed, privately educated, free-range chickens. Can I have some cake now?
- Discobiscuits, on 07/09/2008, -7/+32Anyone else feel awkward as ***** reading an article from a site named "Divine Caroline"? I swear my dick shrinks in horror everytime I find myself on this site.
- bblande, on 07/09/2008, -1/+25Bananas are laced with win.
- dnields, on 07/09/2008, -2/+24Well, the article never said anything about these items being 'meals'.
- pak314, on 07/09/2008, -8/+30I like my potatoes sliced thinly and deep fried. For convenience, I buy the prepared ones in convenient packages.
- Kazbaeden, on 07/09/2008, -0/+20"their natural sugars make them sweet to the palate while their rich flavor and color make them nutritious for the body"
I didn't realize flavor and color are now considered nutrients. - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -2/+18mercury
- tkr2099, on 07/09/2008, -0/+14Half bag of potatoes?? So what, like 10lbs worth? That would satisfy my appetite for sure.
- franklymydear57, on 07/09/2008, -0/+14I like the recipe links to some of the foods. I always think about buying kale because I know it's so heathy, but I never know how to cook it.
- voxtarri, on 07/09/2008, -1/+14Wrong, right now we have three dozen and I can't fit my mountain dews in the fridge because of it!
- Vironex, on 07/09/2008, -1/+13Life is too short. That's why I smoke, binge drink, eat McDonald's foods, play with knives, don't get enough sleep, and pick on violent-looking men. ...Or maybe that's why it's going to be too short. Same thing.
- SolidBones, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15Mashed potatos with the skins in them are amazing. Now I feel like I make healthier choices for liking that.
- cyborgmexican, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11mercury can kiss my ass!
- dstz, on 07/09/2008, -1/+12Olive oil
+ tomatoes (tomato paste is cheap and ok)
+ olives
+ fresh garlic, onions
+ cumin, paprika, pepper (have a heavy hand with those)
+ garam masala (cheap Indian spice mix) or ras el hanout (cheap Moroccan spice mix)
+ chili sauce
+ lots of vegetables (main ingredient)
served with potatoes or rice
= easy, cheap and delicious... any meat can be thrown in too - dilbertsd, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11where's my ramen? ;)
- djepik, on 07/09/2008, -1/+11Is this the recipie for olive oil?
Should I just drink it? - serif69, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9They'll fit. You just need to push harder.
- duster, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9bananas are the only food I think I could never get sick of. ***** awesome
- jawagas, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10Agreed, in the long-term scope this Divine Caroline article had a good stock profit.
- BobMysterioso, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10No, it proves a few ingredients can be cheap. Cooking healthy, tasty food is more expensive than bad for you almost all the time.
Next time you're cooking, take note of every spice, vinegar, veggie, oil & meat you use. Realize that that healthy red pepper just cost you at least ($1.50) for the meal. Throw in a nickel for some vinegar another for oil, then add in some onions ($.75), maybe some toasted pine nuts ($.75) atop a nice big bed of spinach ($3) and you have yourself a minimal salad - but it just cost you $6. You didn't add in any garlic or other spices, you just made a simple (hopefully healthy) vinagrette. You have no drink, no bread, and there is little protein.
You could go to burger king way cheaper, and be full longer.
I spend a lot on food, and half of it is fresh veggies. I eat healthy (because of my wife) but its much more expensive than shake 'n bake drumsticks with shells and cheese. Oh man... that sounds pretty good.. - xNaquada, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8Mercury can kiss Uranus?
- chr15, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8you definitely want to buy apples and spinach organically grown. no way that's gonna be under a dollar. Those two are high on the pesticide list. I would also get good eggs too.
- timothycrash01, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Mmmmmmmm, tasty mercury.
- serif69, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8He hunts and catches it himself, not unlike wild boar.
- madeingermany, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8and Flipper
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10The title should've been more clear - it's less than $1 per serving. Doesn't mean you can buy all the items here for a dollar each. Really bugged me that they included things like milk on the list, because you can't just buy a dollar's worth of milk.
- theadvinci, on 07/09/2008, -4/+11You can't have too many eggs in your fridge.
- thomasmck, on 07/09/2008, -1/+8Have you bought apples lately??? They are very expensive now. So are several other items on your list, at my grocery stores anyway. Also, stay away from non-organic eggs and milk. The hormones and antibiotics added are not healthy for you. The extra cost is worth it.
- ian937262, on 07/10/2008, -1/+8Proof of god!
- Ardentfrost, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7I find greens cooked in water to be lackluster and mushy.
My preferred way is to either sautee in oil with onions, garlic, salt, and ceyenne pepper, or to start with a sautee without the oil, sweat out some onions or leaks and garlic, then toss in about a cup of chicken broth (salt to taste at the very end here since the chicken broth will bring salt to the dish). Cook until the greens turn a darker color and are limp. They'll still have a bit of crunch when you eat them, but they're quite yummy. - ThePwnyExpress, on 07/09/2008, -5/+12lima, lento, soy and pinto. navy, northern and gorbonzo! kidney and frijoles negros! i love beans!
i love beans whoo whoo whoo. i love beans, how bout you? high in fiber, low in fat. hey i bet you didn't know that!
when i eat beans, i sit in my own little cloud... nobody comes to visit me in my little cloud.... idk why... maybe cause i'm cuttin' muffins, because...
i love beans. hey hey hey. i love beans everyday. beans are an excellent source of protein. i love beans dinky doo! - deMonkey, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6No. Tofu's really cheap if you buy it in the right places. It's about $1 for a 14-ounce container at most local growers/co-op food stores, Trader Joe's, etc. It's more expensive (rarely over $2.50 per pack) at grocery stores because they usually only carry one or two brands. But everything tends to be a bit more in a supermarket like that.. It's also a really crappy variety usually. This is the price for raw tofu in a sealed container. You can also buy baked tofu but yes those are pretty pricey ($3/8-ounces or so).
- lisaawesome, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6Who pays 25 cents or more for Ramen? I'm pissed it's no longer 10 cents here. ***** 13 cents is *****. We're not all rich!
- f4nt0m4s, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Are you from outside the United States? The US Dollar Menu has the Double Cheeseburger for a dollar, and they have the Two Apple Pies for a dollar...that's my road lunch if I'm in a hurry. My wallet and tummy would be sad if they didn't have the dollar menu. :(
- MacEnvy, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Cook it just like collard or mustard greens. Basically simmer in a quart of water with an onion and a piece of meat for about 45 minutes, and it comes out tender and tasty. Serve with red wine vinegar as a condiment.
The article said it only costs a dollar for a bunch, but it's more like $1.69 here in NYS. Close enough. - marx2k, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Except when you're using stuff like Miracle-Grow to grow it....
- madeingermany, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Lentils should be on this list. (the more variety, the better)
- marx2k, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5bananas + yogurt FTW!
- Xihix, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Half a bag of nuts would probably exceed the amount of calories of half a bag of potato chips. Well, then again, depends on the bag size.
