[quote=Anonymous]OP, the others have given some wonderful suggestions and support. I'd just like to add that it might be worth learning to cook dried beans (and lentils, and chickpeas...) and getting over your feelings against large hunks of meat, just in case you find yourself in a tight spot again in the future. Buying in bulk and getting things as un-fooled-around-with as possible are where the savings are. For the price of even an on-sale rotisserie chicken you could buy two uncooked ones. For the price of a can of black beans you could buy two bags of dried. Etc., etc. I don't necessarily enjoy the time or ick factor sometimes involved in cooking from scratch. But our budget is tight, and when it comes down to a choice between ick and paying more, I'll take the ick any day.[/quote]
