I have this dilemna whether to eat something healthy but expensive such as organic produce or something cheap I can find in the shop.
If I will buy organic products, I will starve for the next few weeks because my budget has run out. If I will buy cheap easy food. I will not die of starvation for the next months.
What would you choose?

Exactly the point, why organic so expensive. why can't it be affordable for everyone.

Begin a vegetable garden. That way, you don't have to buy organic food. You could be self-sustaining.

@Mavic123456 Vegetables can be grown in pots. A delight to see the veggies grow. Even onions and garlic and ginger - our anti-oxidants.

@Mavic123456 I try combine it. Sometimes something healthier, sometimes just cheaper food.

Yes, I just popped in for awhile. Thanks for missing me. Glad to be back.
Any suggestion about the healthy and budget-wise food?
Happy new year!

@Mavic123456 I'm with you in your sentiments with organic produce. It cost more compare to the readily available food in the market. The reason also why we're buying ready to eat food is our unavailability to cook. Health should be put to consideration and not at risk when it comes to this but our budget is our first enemy. There are always pros and cons.
Eating a balance meal is always recommended we heard but for some of us it's not attainable. I think regular products from farms aren't risky that much for us to worry big. That way, we can prepare budget friendly meal by our own if we have time. If growing edible plants seem impossible, we could try cutting other cost of our living and invest more on organic food. You may never starve yourself and at the same time your not exposing yourself to the threats of quick, easy and not so health friendly products.
Sorry for the long writing. I hope it makes sense somehow.

unfortunately, cooking is not practical. again it is more practical to buy food from the street.

@xstitcher exactly, but that's what I am advising to my sister and her husband, anyway they have money to spend and also no more kids to support, told them to spend a little for a healthier food.

@Mavic123456 Too expensive, for one, and second, I don't see the point. "Regular" food has not made me sick or given me cancer.

I am sure if you make a good plan and stick to frugal cooking and having a home made meal, you can achieve both.

Yeah you are right. Do you do this or you don't have no problem with the budget?

@Mavic123456 I stick with my budget and plan accordingly. I go in a planned way and don't overshoot my budget. I have to save for my children and their studies and many other stuff.
