[quote:Anonymous Coward 77227132:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDE2NDkxX0JBQ0MzMzdD] When we had lots of kids and little money I made a batch of bread every day and cut our grocery bill more than in half. We made pizza, rolls, cinnamon and orange rolls from the same dough. I baked loaves in tall juice cans so they were round and made round sandwiches for lunch and the kids loved them. Also you can make pasta with a creamy garlic sauce and you don’t miss the meat. Mushrooms, vegetables, pine nuts make good toss ins. Even just pasta with parm tossed in is good. Pancakes are cheap and filling. [/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!
