It’s summer! Time for a vacation, or not. As the weather heats up we are all looking for ways to cool down, unwind and relax. If spending money ain't your thing or in the budget don't fret. By now everyone is familiar with the term “staycation” I had never heard of this term until a few years ago, but now staycations are becoming increasingly more common as people look for ways to still enjoy life but live within their means.

I am forced to commute 40 miles for every day for work and so I end up eating a lot of meals on the road. This is certainly not my favorite habit but it's just a fact of the matter and so I'm dealing with it in the best way I can, which is to try to find the least evil food that's available to me. I've compiled a list of cheap, partially healthy foods that can be found on nearly any road trip in the US. I say partially or semi healthy because this is really just going for less of the bad things like sodium and fat and doesn't really address adding nutrition.
