Eat oats for breakfast
When it comes to eating healthy on a budget, oats are a go-to for a quick breakfast or even in baking. “Oats are also a great source of beta-glucan, which is a fiber known to reduce cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health,” says Bede. “I often buy oats in bulk from the farmer’s market. They’re high quality and inexpensive.” Many supermarkets also offer oats in bulk.
