[quote:Anonymous Coward 78310900:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDEyNDc2XzM1NDkxQzA2] Scalloped potatoes Casseroles (although you might need to cut back the meat that goes in the casseroles and add more of the noodles, rice, or veggies) pot pies veggie lasagna anything with beans Also, you can get a huge bag of chicken hindquarters for $5-$10, depending on where you live in the country. Use those for your soups and stews, or they are very tasty smoked and still won't break your budget. Do you know any hunters who like to shoot deer or pigs, but aren't thrilled with eating them? Take up fishing as a hobby. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/family-meals/slideshow/bean-recipes https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/top-10-casserole-recipes/ https://www.thespruceeats.com/easy-dinner-casserole-recipes-4153367 https://tasty.co/article/hannahloewentheil/meatless-and-dairy-free-dinner-recipes Also, price check stores for non-food items. Our Dollar Generals here sell store brand paper products and trash bags a whole lot cheaper than the grocery or Walmart. That will all depend upon where you live, though. Keep a list so you know where to buy which items, and learn to live with store brands. Most stores have coupons you can load onto your card on-line so that if you do need to buy a name-brand item, you might be able to save a buck on it. [/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!
