Anything with pasta sauce, like spaghetti, will have great veggie values per 1/4 cup. One of my kids' favorites is the Macaroni Grill Basil Chicken meal, they are about $3 for the box (by Hamburger helper) and you buy chicken separately, it is DELISH! Any of those kinds of dinners would be great, you can always get meat for a good deal. Check out the meat dept right after they close, some don't regrind meat, so they sell it at a heavily discounted price. I can get ground beef for $1.50 a lb. On average, I keep it under $100 a week for 4 of us. It works with our budget and super picky family. Have you started using coupons at all? I would highly recommend it!! The more money you save on the basics will allow you to save for some good healthy food :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603883676176187940noreply@blogger.com
