We previously mentioned that Beyonce just teamed up with shoe customizer PMK to come up with the cruelest shoes imaginable.

The King Bey sneakers are made from exotic animal skins, including stingray, ostrich, calf hair, crocodile and anaconda!

When broken down, you can really see how needlessly cruel and expensive these shoes are.

For anyone who has ever used the excuse that eating healthy is too expensive, here are 10 super cheap and super healthy foods that will fit into any budget !

Kale:

The vitamins, minerals, and health-enhancing antioxidants like fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids found in Kale help get rid of harmful compounds though to cause serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease. At 60 cents a cup, you can afford to be cautious!

Sweet Potatoes:

At 43 cents a serving and high concentration of beta carotene, sweet potatoes are an incredibly cheap beauty product! Beta carotene has not only shown to help every cell in the body stay healthy, but also neutralizes wrinkle and reduces skin damaged from the sun by helping to generate new skin cells. The potato is also packed with fiber and energizing B-vitamins.

Dried Cranberries:

Dried cranberries rank among the highest antioxidant contents of any fruit, which means they may help reduce cancer and heart disease risk, plus prevent urinary tract infections! All that for a couple quarters a cup? Eat them as a snack or mix them into salads or cereals for a healthier meal!

Low-Fat Milk:

One eight-ounce glass of milk, which costs about 25 cents, is chock-full of nine essential nutrients, many of which most of us fall short, including bone-building calcium, heart-healthy potassium, and vitamin D.

Pinto Beans:

Costing just 13 cents a cup, pinto beans are a great addition to any chili and boast the highest antioxidant count of all beans! They’re also loaded with protein, fiber, and B vitamins!

Eggs:

Eggs are only 70 calories and cost less than a gum ball! At about 20 cents each they're one of the healthiest bargains around. Not only are they loaded with protein and antioxidants, eggs are a top dietary source of a vitamin called choline, which has been shown to promote brain health.

Black Tea:

Black tea only costs a nickel a bag and is worth every penny. The cheap beverage contains protective compounds called flavanoids that neutralize health-damaging particles called free-radicals, which help the health of every cell in our bodies.

Oatmeal:

Simple rolled oats are packed with essential minerals like immune-boosting zinc, magnesium, and iron as well as those flavanoids we mentioned above. Oh yeah, and fiber…lots and lots of fiber.

Canned Salmon:

Canned salmon may not be as appealing as fresh salmon, but if provides all of those healthy benefits you may have seen us writing about before. A 4 oz. portion of salmon provides a day's worth of omega-3 fatty acids, plus your daily dose of Vitamin D.

Mango:

Not only are mango's one of the tastiest, juiciest fruits around, but with one cup providing 80% of your vitamin C daily value, plus 25% of your vitamin A, 7% potassium and 3 grams of fiber, they're one of the healthiest! Plus you get all these benefits in one cup, which can cost as low as 50 cents.

Walking through the grocery store can be incredibly confusing! If you find yourself constantly wondering whether or not organic produce is worth the extra money, or if you should splurge on expensive salt, check out this list (compiled by iVillage Food) of “worth it, not worth it” for buying more expensive foods!

Thick skinned produce: Not worth it
Thick-skinned produce is more protected from insects and therefor needs less insecticides, but because you normally peel the skin off of fruits, the insecticide contamination won’t affect you anyway.

Olive oil: Not worth it
Inexpensive extra virgin olive is just as good for you as expensive. Use cheap olive oil for cooking and more expensive stuff for a dipping or finish oil.

Coffee: Not worth it
You may be able to tell the difference between 7/11 coffee and Starbucks, but we’ll bet you can’t tell much of a difference between coffee that costs $8/pound and coffee that runs at $16/pound. Go for budget coffee and save some money.

Cheese (for cooking): Not worth it
Cooking cheese changes the taste and texture. Go for the cheaper option when you’re making your famous mac ‘n cheese. We promise it will taste just as good!

Berries: Not worth it
Buy berries while they’re in season — they will be significantly cheaper. Also, buying them out of season is bad for the environment because they have to travel longer distances to get to you.

Salt: Not worth it
Unless you’re using finishing salt to top a fancy dish, regular salt will always work. And it’s WAY cheaper.

Nuts and Seeds: Not worth it
Because nuts and seeds are able to protect their “fruit” with a hard shell, pesticides have a tough time getting into the actual food. Organic won’t make a huge difference here.

Sparkling water: Not worth it
Just like all water is pretty much the same, all sparkling water is similar. Go for the cheaper option!

Milk: Worth it
Organic milk comes from cows that haven’t been treated with hormones, and while scientists say that the hormones don’t affect the milk, it still seems fishy.

Eggs: Worth it
Go for free-range eggs — chickens who were raised in a healthy environment are bound to produce healthier eggs.

Meat: Worth it
Go for grass-fed beef. It’s what cows naturally eat — not corn/any of the other random crap they’re fed.

Chocolate: Worth it
If you’re going to indulge in chocolate, why not go all out!

Tofu: Worth it
Fresh tofu is significantly tastier than mass-produced tofu. Check your local markets for it — they may not have it at the chain stores.

What on effing Earth?! What does he want, some bizarre, multi-million, cocaine and stripper-infused real-life Three's Company??

Charlie Sheen must be feeling a little sentimental - and remorseful - for terrorizing his former wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, because he's reportedly asking them to move into two mansions in his neighborhood so his four children can grow up closer to him!

According to the actor, he's got his real estate agent on the hunt in his Mulholland Estates area, and is willing to front the cost of the houses - as well as their moving expenses!

Holy shiz!

We mean, in theory it's a nice idea, but moving his children closer to him means moving his children closer to his behavior! And we're not sure that's in the best interest of them - OR his former spouses!

The jury's gonna have to be out on this one until we hear what the ladies have to say about this idea!

What do U think?? Do U think this is a good idea??
