Kevin asked in a thread below if we could have a new thread devoted not to arguing over fat, but simply to sharing experiences and advice on how to cook healthy food for families on a budget. Great idea! Let this be that how-to thread.

Yay! Interesting...
One of the ways we make our food dollar stretch is by shopping at salvage stores. I've found it's a great way to get organic foods for less cost than what I'd normally buy at a store.

I guess the simple things to keep in mind are that we need: 1) calories; 2) nutrients.
So quality sources of fats, proteins and carbs are going to come from cheap foods like tuna, eggs, nuts, quinoa, potatoes, etc. Then add herbs that you grow in your own garden (free) and mix in plenty of vegetables that cover the rainbow so you are getting all of the carotenoids. Eat all the colors!
The above comment that said you can make your own cereal is correct. I do this. I go to an organic grocery and buy rolled oats, spelt, all sorts of things like that and make my own muslix. Cheap and healthy as you can get.
Oh yeah, and I always teach my kids the importance of eating healthy because they are young now and they learn fast. I want them learning the right things!
