B Y J U A N R O J A S EATING ON A BUDGET How often have you walked into a fast food establishment and instantly notice that there are hamburger options sold for a dollar yet a salad with some chicken breast can be close to $10? This is a very common sight in the current society we live in. Oftentimes at the grocery store, boxes of cereal, cookies and chips are much cheaper than buying fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, the average consumer who is hooked on junk food looking to save some money, ends up getting highly discouraged when they might want to make healthier food choices.
