Sorry to say eating low-fat and heart healthy is not real inexpensive. But, as you can cook, you have many options available to you. As you know most vegetables are low calorie, so, when you buy them, shop carefully and look for the freshest and heaviest produce(for it's size) you can buy. This often gives you more for the dollar when items are sold by the piece. On the other hand, when the products you desire are priced per pound, look for perfectly trimmed, you don't want to spend money on parts of vegetables and fruits you cannot eat, for example; stems, leaves, and in some cases excessive thickness in rinds.

Money saving tips can be employeed by buying in bulk, if you can preserve your items, either by freezing or canning. This may take alot of efort and it can be time consuming. But, if you are about saving money it's worth it. Simplely buy products that are in season when the price is ussually the lowest and purchase enough to use then, and extra to preserva in the method of your choosing. Apples, squash, carrots, cabbage, pumpkin,and tomatos are good examples of produce that have a seasonal low price and can be canned and/or frozen successfully.

Another thing I've found are the outlet bread stores. They sell breads and a few other select items at drastically lower prices, because the product is close to out of date. Look for the items you want in the low-fat category, and you can freeze them, extending the time for your useage and again saving some money.
Cooking some of these products into useable meals ahead of time can also save, and once again freeze those meals in portions you can reuse at your convienience later.

Eating low fat is good for you and it is too bad we all pay so much for it, but with sound planning and good perserving skills, a smart shopper can save a bundle at their grocery stores and farmers markets and even thrift outlets.
Good luck,...and bonn-apetito !
