[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553120, member: 11791"] Chicken breast is doggone expensive. The only way we get that is if there are whole chickens on sale at a really good price and I cut them up myself. Drumsticks, thighs, and legs, are cheaper. Lean ground beef comes on sale at a good price - it's a better value, usually, than regular... because regular can have up to 30% fat, while lean can only have up to 10% fat. Most of the time, we live on chicken legs and ground beef. Last week ground beef was on sale, this week it's chicken drumsticks. The other cheap but easy-to-prepare source of protein is eggs. (legumes etc. are also good... but way more work, you have to know how to cook with them, and your kids have to like it...) Small one-meal packages of meat cost more than "family" packs, too. Hang on... I was assuming you bought and cooked from scratch... what do you mean by "a side of veggies"? If vou're buying from the deli at the grocery store... yes, that can be more expensive than fast food. [/QUOTE]
