[quote=Anonymous]I make my meals from scratch out of mostly cheap staples and base my meal plans around what meat is on sale that week. I make big batches and eat leftovers for several days. If I want to splurge on a nicer meal I offset it with "poverty rations" - a jar of store brand spaghetti sauce and a pound of store brand pasta is 4 filling meals for less than $4 total. Rice, a can of beans, a pound of chicken thighs, and a can of rotel is another 4 big meals for under $6. Bagged frozen veggies or mixed greens with oil and vinegar adds some greenery for just a few dollars more. [/quote]
