Root vegetables like onions, carrots, cabbages and celery are often on the more wallet-friendly side. Just because they’re not being called superfoods on social media doesn’t mean they’re not packed with nutrients. <\/p>\n
Look for fruits and vegetables labelled ‘wonky<\/a>‘ at the supermarket \u2013 they have the same nutritional value as their more conventional-looking counterparts and are often cheaper. <\/p>\n Frozen and tinned fruit and veg can work out cheaper too \u2013 as well as save on waste. And they’re still packed with the good stuff. <\/p>\n Tinned tomatoes \u2013 a base for everything from spaghetti bolognese<\/a> to curries<\/a> \u2013 count towards your five-a-day and most supermarkets carry them in their budget range.<\/p>\n Frozen mixes of veg or fruit, will help you reach your five-a-day quickly and can be cheaper than if you bought the same individual items fresh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Root vegetables like onions, carrots, cabbages and celery are often on the more wallet-friendly side.
