[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks again everyone.  DH is lactose intolerant, so we were drinking Lactaid for a while (it tastes the same to me).  Then I went on this kick about a year ago where I was anti-dairy (I read this book about the evils of dairy farming/dairy in general).  I've since then relaxed a little bit, but we've both grown to love almond milk, and it seems to be really good for you/ even better than cow's milk in some ways.  But yet, it is a little more expensive.  I DO drink a ton of water, but we use the almond milk in cereal, our coffee, some recipes, breakfast foods, etc- things we can't replace with water.

I like the idea of making meals in the crock pot, doubling it, and saving half in the freezer as a second meal to pull out.  I find sometimes I'll make chili, then stick the leftovers the the fridge, and we eat a little bit of it the next day for lunch, and then some goes to waste (we get chili'd out).
Any other cheap-y meals that I can do this with?  We like just about anything, and do enjoy vegetarian meals as well.  My only issue is fish- I can't stand it.  DH LOVES it, so I'll occasionally tolerate it- maybe have a couple bites if he makes a meal.

Another question- you know how you can buy canned beans, or dried beans in the bag- what is a better value?[/quote]
