It\u2019s a myth that eating healthy has to cost big bucks. \u201cYou can spend much the same as you do now and wind up with a heart-healthier diet,\u201d says Dr. Aramide. It comes down to making smarter choices. Here are some ideas for eating better without spending more.<\/p><\/div>

\"A<\/figure><\/div>
Compare labels.<\/span><\/h6>

\u201cFrom a health perspective certain foods are less desirable than others at a similar price,\u201d Dr. Aramide says. For example, different varieties of milk cost roughly the same, but skim milk and 1 percent milk provide less saturated fat\u00a0than 2 percent milk or whole milk. The same is true with yogurt. Some yogurts, although labeled \u201clow fat,\u201d are high in calories and sugar, he says, so by comparing the Nutrition Facts data on the labels, you can make a healthier choice that\u2019s low in both fat and sugar without spending more.<\/p>

Skip processed foods in boxes and bags.<\/span><\/h6>

Whole foods tend to cost less than processed varieties, while sparing you the added sodium and sugar that can lead to weight gain, diabetes and heart damage, according to Stewart.<\/p>

Be aisle-smart.<\/span><\/h6>

Shop mostly from the outer aisles of your market. That\u2019s where fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish and meat tend to be displayed.<\/p>

In the middle aisles, look for heart-healthy canned tuna, salmon and sardines; frozen unprocessed fish fillets; and dried or canned beans (rinse them before you cook to lower sodium content). Add beans to meat dishes so you won\u2019t need as much meat\u2014this simple step will lower the cost and your saturated fat intake.<\/p>

Look down too: Often the priciest items are shelved at eye level, while cheaper store brands are placed lower.<\/p>

Pick what\u2019s in season.<\/span><\/h6>

When produce is plentiful, it tends to cost less, Dr. Aramide says. So corn is a better buy in summer, while apples are a bargain in fall and winter, for example. The United States Department of Agriculture provides a season-by-season list of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>

Consider canned or frozen produce and beans.<\/span><\/h6>

Dr. Aramide says they can pack as many nutrients as fresh produce, and at a good price. Look for \u201clow sodium\u201d or \u201cno salt added\u201d on the label.<\/p>

Don\u2019t shop when you\u2019re hungry.<\/span><\/h6>

You\u2019ll be less tempted by junk food and impulse buys\u2014like those fragrant bakery items and the handy snacks at the cash register.<\/p>

Cook more meals at home.<\/span><\/h6>

People who cook meals at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories than those who cook less often.<\/p><\/div>

Definitions<\/span><\/h6>
Saturated fat:<\/b>\u00a0A type of fat found in abundance in butter, whole milk, ice cream, full-fat cheese, fatty meats, poultry skin, and palm and coconut oils. Saturated fat raises levels of heart-threatening LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream. It can also interfere with your body\u2019s ability to absorb blood sugar easily. Limiting saturated fat can help control your risk for heart disease.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
