[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a family of 3 with some leftovers sometimes:

Taco night for $10ish - 1lb of ground beef on sale, taco seasoning packet, bag of taco chips, some cheese, salsa, sour cream, beans, etc.

Baked potato night for less than $10- some unbreaded chicken tenders on sale, potatoes, salsa, sour cream, lemon juice, cheese, etc. fresh or frozen green beans.

Salad night less than $10 - head of romaine lettuce, cut up lunchmeat (turkey/ham etc), cheese, salad dressing, hard boiled eggs, etc.

Breakfast for dinner - $10ish eggs, bacon, cheese, toast, sliced tomatoes, fresh grapes, etc.

Sometimes we have sandwiches + chips + carrot/celery sticks. That's super cheap too.

We don't eat steaks, porkchops, etc. - not huge meat eaters.

In the winter I make a lot of soups that we eat with toast and some fresh veggies.[/quote]
Where are all the vegetables? This is what kills me. If I want to eat fruits and vegetables then our grocery bill runs $700/mo for 3 of us.

And where do you get taco ingredients for $10? In my hood it's 
Beef - ~$5 if you can find a small serving (but don't really know because we don't eat meat since it's too expensive)
Shells/chips - $3/4
Cheese - $5
Sour cream - $4
Salsa - $5
Beans - $3
And this sucks because it doesn't include fresh lettuce or tomato [/quote]

Huh. Grass fed ground beef$4.99 lb
Tortillas---99 cents (where'd the cents sign go?) a pack of 8
Lettuce:  $1.49 a bag at tj's
Tomatoes---pot on the balcony
Cheese-grated off a $3 block, not all of it
Beans---$1 a can
Sour cream---$1 container, used at least twice
Salsa---make your own or buy on sale[/quote]

new poster here. 
Where are you finding sour cream for $1 a container?
Really, where?
At my grocery it is at least $2-3 for 8 ounce of the store brand. 
And tortillas for 99 cents?  Again at our grocery (Giant, Safeway, etc) 8 of them are at least $2.

Where (exactly--location of store) do you shop??????[/quote]
