I have to start eating healthy foods I am feeling the effects of bad diet. I graze on toast and cereal and never really have proper food. My budget is very low so I need to bare that in mind. I dont eat meat and I am not a very good cook - all in all not a great combination!!! Any ideas for good food on a budget?
 
Dry beans cost almost nothing and can be made into terrific meals. Start with Black beans. Follow the directions on the bag. Once you have learned how to cook them then you can start adding things like tomato, corn, onion, cilantro, cumin, garlic.

Lentils are another excellent choice. Couscous, quinoa, barley, brown rice are all nutritious and easy to cook. Add vegetables and stock or a sauce and a salad or fruit and you have an inexpensive, nutritious meal.

You can google for recipes for each of the items I've mentioned.
