[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicken:  on sale for .89 or so a lb.  Sub cottage cheese for half the ricotta, use store brand pasta. The .89 sauce in the can is just fine.  Use frozen spinach, bought on sale, and for easy on cheese. If four people are eating a pound of pasta, you maybe need less food. That's dinner and lunches for my crew of four, at least. No need for meat with that much cheese, but veggie sausage is nasty. Salad is 89 cents or so a bag. Add some carrots and half a cucumber and you are good.

We eat meat every night of the week as well as lunches and breakfast and I don't spend near that much on food. Buy on sale and don't waste money on "pastured free range" chicken and beef. It isn't worth it. [/quote]

Unfortunately, I buy kosher chicken, so the best I ever do is $3 lb. Even the store-brand whole wheat pasta is closer to $2 a box and a baked ziti usually gives us some leftovers for lunch. I find cottage cheese in baked ziti really disgusting, so its worth the extra $2 to get something we like.

I am not complaining about the amount of money I spend, just saying that its not actually that difficult to cook simple meals and get to $1K a month.[/quote]
