[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying all the creative ways to lower our food budget but also as a PP said we are adjusting our eating habits. Instead of three strip steaks for 3 people, we buy 2 and slice them up to share 3 ways or we buy London broil. No more shrimp dinners. Bean tacos instead of ground beef.

We are also trying to improve our diet and reconciling the two goals is really hard. Sure, we’d all love to eat linguine and marinara for dinner and we can make that for $5, but it isn’t all that healthful. [/quote]

Make dried beans several times a week.  Much healthier and cheaper.  Black beans, kidney beans, lentils.  Side of rice.  And throw in some sauteed kale/dark leafy greens and you are golden.  You don't need meat - let alone beef - for dinner more than once a month.  It's really a preference.[/quote]

Yeah, we already do this 2 x week or so. We have steak maybe twice a month. My family doesn’t love beans enough to want to eat them more we already do. And we have a diabetic in the family so we much prefer a lean protein and vegetables.  [/quote]
