Gee Paula, I know that the least expensive way to eat is carbohydrates.
Noodles, etc. are all cheap. But so are legumes; beans, lentils, peas.
I don't know how they shape up carb-wise but I know they are high in
protien. And they are cheap. A pot of legumes with ham hocks and
onion, garlic is delicious and nutritious. You aren't going to feel as
well when you are getting too many carbs so it is necessary to find
another route. Eggs are cheap, peanutbutter is cheap. I hope this
helps! You are such an inspiration to the women on this board. But even
inspirers needs to exhale once in awhile :o) Feel free to email me
anytime klyn5@eudoramail.com
