During the economic crisis of the 70s, Kraft advertised their solution to feed families: Processed Mac & Cheese
While it's cheap, it offers almost nothing when it comes to Nutrition

Before I get into it, let me start with this
Most of the time, people buy the worst foods possible not because they cannot afford better options, but simply because food is not a priority for them
They rather spend $14.99 on a Netflix sub that makes them feel good in the moment

Food should be within your top 3 priorities, especially if you're looking after family

To keep things simple, let's break down food into three categories:
1. Meats
2. Grain
3. Fruit & Veg
I'm not going to talk about stuff you already have in your pantry (fats & oils, seasonings, spices, etc.)

1. MEAT
If you had to choose one of the 3 groups to allocate most of your money, it would be meat
You get your money's worth when you buy quality meat through the effects of BioConcentration
The animal itself eats quality food and you feel the benefits of that compound

1.1 RED MEAT
Grass Fed Flank > Grain Soy Fed Ribeye
Prioritise the quality over the cut.
I recommend getting a mince mix of the cheapest cuts (flank, rump etc), with some fat trimmings
You can even mix Beef, Lamb etc (knowing butcher helps)
Spend on Grass-fed here if you can

1.2 ORGANS
Offal is pound-for-pound one of the most nutritious things on the planet
You can get Lamb, Beef liver for insanely cheap prices. Either get them on their own or incorporate it in the mince.
Having 2-3 times a week is enough, avoid having every single day

Doing this alone will have you covered 75% in terms of micronutrients
You get a lot of the essential B vitamins and minerals through liver and red meat

1.2 CHICKEN
Buy whole chickens instead of buying individual breasts or thighs (or at least get entire legs if lazy)
Rotisserie is an option if you're pressed for time but I wouldn't make it a daily practice
They're injected with chemicals, you're better off cooking yourself

2. GRAIN / CARBS
Potatoes are one of the easiest and cheapest things to make, with plenty of variation
Roast baby potatoes in the oven with seasonings of your choice
Boil them and mash, make fries / wedges
Pasta as treat on the weekends

Oats is another good option, but you have to prepare them properly
Soak overnight in water. Dump water next morning and cook however you'd like. This gets rid of antinutrients.
You can add some honey, berries, bananas, strawberries and even some cacao if you have any on hand

3. FRUIT & VEG
It's no. 3 because it's really the least important one
Fruit is good to have, and I would prioritise citrus fruits like Oranges to add some Vit C in your diet
Vegetables aren't really necessary but you could do a creamed spinach just to complete the meal

And then, you piece all of it together
Combine Meat of Choice + Grain + Veg and you have a meal
Fermented foods like saurkraut are cheap things you can add, especially if you make yourself

It's up to you how you want to set up your meals and it really depends on how many people there are in your household
A good way to save costs and time is to have 1 big meal you cook at lunch / dinner that carries over
i.e Cooking lunch and keeping a portion aside for dinner

I know this is not the most glamorous thing ever, but it gets the job done nutrition wise
It's why I always say that while eating healthy does not require loads of money, it sure does help
It's easy to stick to a "diet" if you have the best quality ribeyes, wild fish everyday

But to get there, sometimes we have to keep things lean and focus on stacking $$$ in the business
Then, when you have the money you can slowly upgrade each individual block and swap things out
Meat → Grain → Vegetables → Supplements
Quality nutrition is crucial.

Also, with the way prices are going and how food plants are being blown up it's a good idea to prepare
• Buy rice, pasta, rolled oats
• Canned foods: Tomatoes, soups, fruit / veg in water, sardines, tuna etc
• Buy entire animals and split amongst friends & family.

Make sure everything is vacuum sealed so they last and do not get freezer burn
Having a separate chest freezer for meats helps, just in case your main freezer goes bad
I lost a ton of meat in the past when the freezer malfunctioned. Get thermostats.
