Wallet-Friendly: On average, US consumers spent 11.3% of their disposable income on food i.e. for every $100 a person earns after-tax, $11.3 is spent on food. This amount increases up to $52 if healthier options are included. This leaves very little to spend on other necessities like housing, energy, education and clothing. It’s not that fancy ingredients or expensive superfoods are bad, but they make bigger holes in your pockets. Simple, affordable ingredients can work wonders for your well-being. You’re not only nourishing your body but also saving some cash when you go for smarter options through budget friendly healthy meals.
