This WOE on a budget.. How do you do it?

Re: This WOE on a budget.. How do you do it?

I just added a recipe in 'main dishes' for meatloaf, if that helps - at least for one night a week. Hamburger is probably the cheapest meat, right?

Taco salad made with ground beef or chicken is good too. I would try to use more of the hamburger to cut down on the cost. The kids could roll theirs up in tortillas.

My husband and I are doing Atkins, but I have three kids who are not. I'm only just starting, but for the kids, I add baked potatos or Lipton noodle packages to their meals as well, which likely cuts down on the cost. I don't know if that helps.
It also doesn't help that my 12 year old became a vegetarian about the same day we started Atkins - she says for the next month. lol. That complicates matters even more.

jende, thanks so much for letting us know about that meatloaf post!! Hamburger meat is definately pricey around here, but I manged to find a place that sells a 3 pound frozen roll of it for 6 bucks! definately cannot beat that.

I have to admit, I hate living where I do, it's so pricey for everything! LOL

You definately have a lot of different meals too cook!!! If anyone gets the title of super mom, it's you!

Thank you and I'll accept that title - for the next month anyway. lol. Unless she gives in. A friend from school challenged her and she accepted.

She sure was looking at my bacon a lot this morning though.
