[quote=Anonymous]I’m not with the exception of when we host a ton of people, extended relatives, bunch of college kids plus friends etc. Steak is off the table. Here are the economical things that have been hits.

1. Pork ( not bacon which is pricey). Pork shoulder slow cooked with barbecue sauce, shredded. Great for a crowd but also freezes really well. I have a meat grinder attachment for my mixer and will grind my own ground book. Vietnamese caramelized pork, egg rolls, egg roll in a bowl, chili, meatballs etc. 
2. Beef buy chuck roast at coast. One gets ground in the grinder, hamburgers / meatballs, chili, ground beef bulgogi, tacos. One gets slow cooked as beef burgundy or pot roast or Mexican shredded beef. 
3. Poultry buy frozen turkey right after Thanksgiving on sale, buy chicken on sale ( use velvetting technique or soaking in buttermilk) 
4. Eggs - frittata, really good scrambled eggs, make your own hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict.
5. Bread/ pancakes. The big bag of krusteez pancake mix. Buy the double loaves at Costco and freeze one.
6. Vegetables and fruitFrozen on sale, in season on sale
7. Potatoes are always popular and versatile.

Economic games
1. For sales outside of Costco, be wary of sales at stores like Safeway. They often raise prices prior to a sale to make it look cheaper. 
2. Asian markets are good.
3. Use credit cards that give a % back for groceries and always pay off the balance each month.
