<human>:  Can you give me some advice for eating healthy on a budget?
<bot>: Some tips for eating healthy on a budget include: 1) Planning meals and grocery shopping beforehand to help ensure that you purchase healthy foods and do not buy more than you can use. 2) Taking advantage of sales and promotions when grocery shopping to help save money. 3) Buying ingredients in bulk, such as rice, beans, and grains, which can be stored for a long time and used in different dishes. 4) Taking advantage of local farmer’s markets for fresher ingredients at lower prices. 5) Trying to include more plant-based proteins, such as legumes, in your diet. 6) Buying frozen or canned versions of fruits and vegetables, as these are often cheaper than fresh produce. 7) Making meals from scratch with basic ingredients such as eggs, potatoes, and pasta, instead of buying pre-packaged and pre-processed foods.
