I went gluten free, but I don't buy much of the gluten free food. It's not needed, I stick to veggies, fruit, protien, and grains that I can have.
I have 3 kids, and I live on $1,300 ( Canadian ) a month, I also live in a pricey valley, in a pricey province, cost of living is quite high here. Yet we all have bikes, we snowboard, we play tennis, skate, can go jogging and hicking, swimming, roller blading ... And eat healthy. It's doable, you just have to get creative, and find otherways to meet your needs. Thrift stores are a good place to get sporting equipement. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't need to cost a lot of money.

Yeah, I was thinking more of fish and lamb chops
that I like so much. But I, too, like pea or lentil soups.
With all due respect for the legumes, the strongest evidence - which is still not conclusive - for any bp-friendly dietary change is for cold water fish, isn't it?
I will look into coops, that is a good idea. I eat wheat-free unless it is at a party and low-carb (no rice, limited potatoes) but other than that I eat everything. And I enjoy both herbivorous and carnivorous eating
