Healthy Eating on a Limited Budget: When there is simply not enough money for lunch

There are times when eating well becomes difficult for a very practical reason: the money is simply not there. You may leave home for work or school knowing that you cannot afford to buy lunch that day. Perhaps the money you have needs to last until the end of the week, or other pressing expenses—transportation, school fees, rent, medication, utilities or an unexpected bill—have had to come first. There may even be some food at home, but little or nothing left to spend on meals outside the home.
