breakfast foods: oatmeal, cereal (whole wheat), eggs, bread (toast, french toast, etc...)

lunch foods: bread, peanut butter, jams, preserves, etc..., bananas, apples, oranges, pears

dinners: spaghetti, brown rice, brocolli, carrots, mushrooms, corn, okra, cucumber, potatoes, frozen peas (or fresh if available), green beans

What types of foods do you like, that may help.

Also, if you can avoid drinking soft drinks, or at least cut back and drink more water, you'll save a lot more money then you think. That is, if you drink soft drinks.

that looks pretty good other than the meat group. Frozen ground beef the cheapest?

I don't drink pop unless I'm mixing something.

buying fresh, fruits, vegs, beans, pasta, to make at home.
Instead of buying fast food, and already prepared meals.

For the next few weeks Im going to be poor.. REAL poor and Ive planned my menu around the local sales at the grocery store.

Foster Farms chicken hotdogs 10/$10
Dennisson Chilli 10/$10
Cheff Boyardee 10/$10
Bread 10/$10
hot dog buns 10/$10
cheep sliced ham 10/$10
American cheese 10/$10
All the fixings for salads about $10 total
salad dressings assorted varieties 10/$10

Ive bought everything to make a weeks worth of salads and 5 diferent dressings.
5 packs of hotdogs, 2 loafs of bread, 3 packs of buns, 15 cans of mixed chili/cheff botardee, 2 cheese, 4 ham.

All of this for about $50 and Ill eat for two weeks. Ive even been drinking nothing but water and beer. If only I would cut out the beer I could live off just $100 a month with these 10/$10 sales.

Its not the most healthy but when in moderation everything is OK.. Just got to remember not to put salt on anything, its already got too much sodium.

Last week I made a curry chicken stew sort of thing..

Everything cost about $15 and I ate it for lunch every day that week plus breakfast once and supper the night I made it. 9 meals for $15 and it tasted sooooo good.. Plus Ive got about 4 days worth of it in the freezer.

Stir fry, soup, casseroles, burritoes, chili, or any other recipe which consists primarily of veggies/beans/whole grains and uses meat for flavor, rather than featuring meat as the centerpiece, will stretch your grocery budget AND are better for your health.

Steer clear of processed foods, even if they seem cheaper than buying basic ingredients.  You'll probably pay the price later in lower energy & health problems.

Purchase the best quality ingredients you can afford, and focus on the per serving cost rather than the total cost.

A great example of this is purchasing a pound of broccoli for $1.29, rather than an 8 oz. frozen box of broccoli for $1.00 (On sale! This week only!  :wink:).  If you steam the broccoli until it is almost done, then freeze it in serving-size portions, you will have twice as much broccoli for only .29 more. 

Also, watch out for snacks, drinks & sauces.  These items will overload your budget & do not add much to your nutritional intake.

And if you have a a chinatown or any little mom & pop asian grocery store nearby, use it. Produce tends to be almost 1/2 the price at those places, although they don't weed out the spoiled shit from the cases and display it nicely like grocery stores do, so you have to do it instead. Then you can also get all the inexpensive rice and inexpensive asian sauces to make stir-fries.
