What are your experiences of eating and buying food on a budget?Hi, we are struggling with eating healthily on a budget as we both work long hours in the Education sector & commute between two UK countries due to our professional expertise at work, as well as caring for our young son (who has ALNs). It is a real struggle with the cost of food & travel / petrol now, as although we both have professional jobs we earn 36k between us and the vast majority goes on bills, food & clothing our son. We often have to grab something on the move or eat carb heavy meals for the energy. I have found healthy foods very expensive for a long time now, but definitely more expensive again the last 3 months or so (apart from selling off cheap veg after Christmas). I also find the quality / longevity of fruit & salad to be poor a lot lately and that some products are hard to come by at mo (eg iceberg lettuce); as well as eggs.
