50 healthy foods for under $1 a pound.

As a Frugal Finder, I found this article on Yahoo! rather interesting.  I'll post most of the article below, and if you are interested in reading the whole thing, click here.

If you are what you eat, then I should weigh-in at under $1 a pound.
That's because, as a general rule of thumb, I try to only buy foodstuffs that costs under a buck per pound. Under $1 a pound, year-round -- that's my grocery shopping mantra.

It's not just because I'm a world-class penny-pincher and smart shopper; believe it or not, it's also about eating healthier. When you look at the USDA's "food pyramid," many of the things we should be eating the most of -- grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables -- happen to cost the least.

It's often the stuff that's bad for us (at least in large quantities) like red meat, fatty dairy products, and processed foods high in trans saturated fats, that cost the most, on a per pound basis.

To prove my point, I've put together this list of 50 healthy foods that I've purchased at least once in the last six months for under $1 a pound........

Hollywood forever cemetery: 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard at gower [map] september 11th : bedazzled   Directed by Stanley Donen (1967 94 mins) Gates 6:30 pm Movie 8:00 pm No reservation necessary $10 donation tickets available at gate As a courtesy to other moviegoers: NO TALL CHAIRS!! Stylish, playful, and outrageously funny, Bedazzled is a 60s mod gem. A 'Swinging London' take on the Faust story, it stars the incomparable comedy team of Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. Moore has a crush on a waitress at his work and when he meets the devil, played by Cook, he signs his soul over for seven chances to try and seduce her. He is transformed into an intellectual, a rich playboy, a rock star and more as he tries to romance his way into her heart. Raquel Welch co-stars as one of the seven deadly sins, (you can guess which one),and Cook's turn as a rock star is one of the funniest mod moments in cinema!
