RECOMMENDATIONSCHOICES FOR A RESTRICTED BUDGET
  • Choose whole grain, unrefined foods to add more fibre, vitamins and minerals to your diet.
  • Combine whole grains with other tasty, nutritious foods in mixed dishes.

  • Buy unrefined products whenever possible.
  • Refining makes a product more expensive and the process strips the product of fibre, vitamins and minerals decreasing it's nutrient quality.
  • Standard brown bread is cheaper than white bread, and much cheaper than special breads and rolls.
  • Maize meal is the cheapest kind of porridge. Maltabela or oats porridge cost as much as 3 times as much. Instant cereals are even more expensive.
  • Use mostly maize rice and samp and use more expensive products such as rice, pearl wheat and pasta less often.
