Canned foods I'm thinking about moving out soon, and with my budget, i might be only able to afford canned foods as a source of food, but I think we've all heard dubious things about them. How bad are they? At this point in history, we have a choice to make

They can be EXTREMELY high in salt content... Buy ones with low salt and low sugar or no added sugar for fruit...
Even on a very low budget you should watch sales at the store and get yourself fresh stuff, or frozen even..
They say frozen fruit is sometimes better than fresh because the fruit is pretty old by the time its at the store... frozen is done right after it is picked, so it doesnt loose as many vitamins...
I myself would never eat canned meats, just cuz its gross #1, and again, the salt content is OUTRAGEOUS!
Alot of people eat ramen noodles when poor, heck, I still treat myself to them every once in a while BUT again,, The salt in those is DEADLY! Not to mention the noodles are deep fat fried so there is a high fat content..
if you invest in some whole wheat pasta, you can make a casserole with a few veggies and cheese, maybe some kind of meat, and eat on that for a few days.. A whole chicken can make a ton of different meals from just 1 chicken...
Its pretty easy to make a dollar stretch further but you have to work at it a bit and get creative... The "easy" fix is usually unhealthy..
