Canned food to save money?

October 9, 2017 11:25am CST
Do you like canned foods? What is your opinion on this attitude of people who choose to do this to save money? Is it really worth it? I agree that money can even be saved (depending on the product types)... But, how about health?

Yes you can save money for a short time but will cost you a lot going to the hospital for health problems if you eat from canned goods everday of your life because anything that`s too much is bad

You can get a lot of healthy canned food. I like to get a lot of fruit and soups in the can,

what usually makes canned goods unhealthy is usually all the salt and stuff used as preservatives. so even if its a good thing its still bad. Especially if consumed on a regular basis even if only in moderation i think due to the long term incorporation into our diets it would have not so great results.

Some canned food is healthier than others. If you stick to the more healthy ones, that would be good.

I know there was a group of 75 people evacuated after the 2011 tsunami who had nothing but canned and instant foods to eat for two weeks, and they all started feeling sick after the first week.

I think it is okay to have canned food, as long as it isn't the only thing the person is eating. Yet, some people cannot help it. and also, canned food is better than microwaved food...so there is that!

There are certain canned foods I like. I like green beans in a can and tuna in a can.

In the long term, what you might save will just go to your medical bills once you get sick from eating all those preservatives. Just my 2 cents.

I think that depends on the persons budget and financial situation. For someone who has a large family and little money canned goods might be a better way to go. I suppose that if the canned goods however were all someone ate even if on a small budget it wouldn't be ideally healthy

Canned food IS said to be unhealthy.. I'm not sure why... maybe because it's not fresh.. or stored in metal, or maybe its loaded with preservatives... not quite sure why... I see nothing wrong with moderation... but I wouldn't splurge on only canned goods....

Can foods to me isn't advisable due to lots of preservative being consumed from eating them, those chemicals are not healthy. Try more fresh foods
