[QUOTE="klmno, post: 368539, member: 3699"] That's pretty much what I do too, except I'm not one for soups and such. Typically, I'll buy a large pack of meat and cook part and freeze part. Then later maybe make a casserole out of the rest and eat it a couple of days with a salad, as an example. I do this when difficult child is home. I had to wait so long for food assistance money though that I had been on the spaghettio and hot dog plan. LOL!! Needless to say, I was just happy to be able to get real meat instead of processed stuff. When I married real young and we had NO money then either, we ate tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches several times a week. I remember after my dad died, my mom fixed beans and rice a lot, or skyline chilli. None of these things are ideal but shoot, it is possible to have only a little money and eat food that can keep you going temporarily. I have gotten a bag of potatoes, some beans, eggs, and bread; I already had pasta in the cabinet and some frozen vegies, but I am a person who needs real meat to go with it most of the time. I can do a lot with ground beef though and still feel like I'm getting a variety- that will probably be next. I find that if I fix enough for leftovers but do it again the next night with a different meal, alternating the leftovers doesn't leave me feeling like I'm eating the same thing over and over. And of course, I want to make something with a specific ingredient- say lettuce for instance, I'll make sure I'm planning cheeseburgers and tacos or salad that week to make sure none of the lettuce goes to waste. My typical inexpensive main courses include the lower grade steaks or stir fry, better chicken strips grilled on skewers, anything made from ground beef (chilli, meatloaf, spaghetti, tacos, burgers), a flank of ham for ham biscuits, chicken casserole, pork chops if I can get them on sell. I like fried chicken and fish too but I don't get it unless difficult child is home to help with the prep and frying. But if anyone has other ideas, they are welcome to share them!! [/QUOTE]
