<prompt> Human: I can keep a great budget on anything but groceries.I usually spend 8-10 day on food, and I really dont know understand how i could spend less.Ive have digestive issues that dont allow me to eat: rice beans nuts most fresh dried fruit very limited sugar intake wheat; pasta, bread, etcMy current diet is mainly protien shakes, meat, cheeses primarily goats cheese, and lots of greens and veggies. I will eat things from the above list if theyre free, and honestly, its hard to not eat all of those things, all the time. Still, I cant seem to spend less than 60wk. My gastro issues will fade over time, but for now Im not a rather tight diet, and theres no room for ramen or rice beans. Im a student and am really particulary struggling right now.Any ideas?  <response>: If you cant eat rice and wheat, can you eat other grains? Oatmeal, for example, is super cheap and delicious. Grains are honestly going to be your best bet for a cheap and healthy diet, but if you cant eat any grains at all, your next best bet is stewsoup. You can make your own broth with bones, and stew tougher, less popular cuts of meats and vegetables in the broth. Onions, potatoes, carrots, and winter squash can all be bought in bulk for extremely cheap, and they are very filling. Meat can be very expensive, so look for sales and dont shy away from cuts that have bones since you can use that to make broth. Also, in general fresh vegetables are much more expensive than frozen or canned vegetables, so stock up on the latter, especially when they go on sale. Just watch out for the sodium!
