[quote:Anonymous Coward 78269817:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDEyNDQ5XzhFREI1MjU0] We were poor. 3 kids, single mom. She made spaghetti at least once a week. That was a large meal and we had leftovers for lunch next day. We always had a little meat, a veggie and a starch like potatoes. Mom cooked most things from scratch because it went further and cost less. We didn't eat caned foods very often. She kind of learned how much each of us are and distributed it accordingly and she always ate last. Even when I would try to give ger some of mine, she would say she was full but I wondered. Fir snacks she would make cookies or buy a bag of candy and distribute it evenly. Everything was measured. Got to be that I could shop and measure so she had some help. You have to sit down with a paper and pen and measure. [/quote]

Ok so our grocery budget has been cut in half, and prices keep going up.
I need ideas and recipes for making meat stretch for a family.
We already do soups, stews and chili. Great budget meals!
I've recently added fried rice to the meal rotation, fantastic way to make a lot of food with very little. Plus my kids love it.
You can also stretch a 1lb package of Italian sausage into several meals: take half and mix into pasta sauce for spaghetti, freeze the other half to use for homemade pizza.
Any other ideas from you good folks would be sincerely appreciated!
