Those are some ideas on how to balance healthy eating and economical eating: good food stretched out for a week's eating. One can try variations of these, or develop new recipes on the same principle. One does not need to spend large amounts of money to eat healthy, assuming normal portion sizes and economical cooking.
Related to his, I strongly advise packing lunch to work, to avoid the expense of buying lunch (which adds up day after day, week after week, year after year) and to also avoid the usually unhealthy, calorie-laden, and fat/sugar-enriched meals available outside. I usually have for lunch a potato roll with a piece of cheese (reduced fat) and some mustard, a few reduced fat Triscuits, an apple, and a bottle of water. One or twice a week I may add a small bag of pretzels to the mix - yes, I know they are "empty calories" and have added salt, but a small serving occasionally will not "make or break" a diet.
And, of course, eat breakfast at home. There is no need to waste time and money buying some (typically extremely) unhealthy fast food breakfast outside. Save money, eat healthier.
