14 Heart-Healthy Foods That Are Incredibly Cheap

Canned seafood

Price: $1.65 for a 3.75-ounce can of sardines; $4.71 per 14.75-ounce can of Alaskan pink salmon

Serving fish more often is a good idea in theory, but in practice, many major fisheries are seasonal. That means the price of fish — and its heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids — is frequently subject to budget-busting swings.

One way to compensate for this and keep fish in your diet is to turn to the canned-goods section of your supermarket. Canned sardines, herring, tuna, mackerel, oysters and mussels are all good sources of omega-3s, and they’re very convenient. Not only are their prices stable, but you won’t have to worry about freshness and perishability the way you would with fresh fish.

How to eat it

Don’t limit yourself to mashing them up with mayonnaise for sandwiches. They’re all great to use on salads as a protein booster. They’re also good with grilled tomatoes on whole-grain toast or your favorite healthy flatbread.
