Eating Healthy On a Budget: Under $6 A Day

I have a good friend, and registered dietitian, who has her own company - Urban Nutrition, LLC. She recently introduced me to her facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/Urban-Nutrition-LLC). As I was scrolling through all the wonderful posts, one caught my eye. "How to Eat Healthy for Under $6 a Day" Who could pass up a great deal like that! With New Year's resolutions under way, my boyfriend and I are trying to save money, by cutting our budget in several places like groceries, but still trying to eat as healthy as possible.
