According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 90% of Americans do not eat enough vegetables, and 87% fall short on fruit intake. A common barrier is the perception that fruits and vegetables are too expensive, but it is entirely possible to get fruit and veggie servings in a cost-effective way with a few savvy strategies.

According to the USDA, Americans spend an average of 9.5% of their disposable income on food. However, with strategic planning, you can significantly reduce your fresh produce costs without compromising on nutrition, ensuring your fruit and vegetable intake remains high even on a tight budget.
