Sardines
While sardines may not make it onto many grocery lists, since tuna and salmon often trump them, they should be added to your affordable protein options. One little tin offers around 23 grams of protein. Another great thing about this fish, is that the tiny bones are meant to be eaten, which also makes it an excellent source of calcium. You can find sardine cans for as little as fifty cents per unit, and they’re very shelf-stable, so you can store them for a while. When you are ready to eat them, spread them on toast, dump them over your salad, or even go old school and put them on a pizza. They even add delicious saltiness to certain soups.
