Ok GLP lets teach those on foodstamps how to stretch a dollar & where they dont have to eat potted meat or beefaronis or ramen noodles.

^^^these foods have near no nutritional value and contribute to obesity.

for one - every supermarket must DATE their foods. shop in the store and note the DATE OF EXPIRATION. come back that day of expiration and those meats will be reduced by half or more.

shop at bread stores, where most of the bread is either 2/1.00 or 1.00 a loaf.


ill start off with a few - this will feed a family of 6. and for 2 nights.

remember - this isnt mcnastys where you can "supersize it"....the only thing that will supersize is your waist if you dont cut down on portions.

1.5 lbs ground chicken
one onion chopped.
^^cook til browned & onions tender. drain.
add 8 slices of cheese (or 1 can of campbells cheese soup)
low flame, simmer til cheese is melted.

pkg of wraps.
finely shredded lettus

spoon the meat/cheese into the wrap, add lettus,

makes a crap load. 2 maybe 3 nights worth.

"lettus"?

Knock, knock

Who's there?

Lettuce

Lettuce who?

Let us in it's raining out here

HAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

You lost me at cabbage

Nothing better than shredded cabbage fried in bacon grease then the bacon crumbled back in it.
Has to be warm.Not good cold.

Picnic roast (pork)--goes on sale often. I cook this in my crock pot with an onion and one can of DR whatever. When its done, pick out the meat. (reserve fat, bones and some meat)
This will make pork sandwiches, carnitas, and pork fried rice.

In your reserve in the same crock pot....pop in another onion, a can of rotel (can use generic) and a bag of 15 bean mix. This is super delish. Very filling, tastes great with cornbread or as a side dish with the carnitas or pulled pork sandwiches.

Cheap and Easy Bean Soup

1 can rotel tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
1 can vegetarian refried beans (lower fat)

Mix together and heat. Top with shredded cheese, bacon bits. red onion and/or a dollop of sour cream. Serve with tortilla chips.

This feeds at least 4 people. You can just keep adding cans depending on family size. Way faster than waiting in any drive thru line I guarantee!

Max price is $1 a serving and that's if you do all organic cans! Shop smart and you can bring that down to half that or more. Consider doing your own broth or beans if you have time and it's pennies!

It really is delicious. If your kids don't do spicy, you can use a milder version of rotel tomatoes.

We call this "Chicken Rotel"! I have no idea if it is an actual recipe, but I got it from an friends Grandmother. She used to feed it to us when we would roll in after a night full of fishing (drinking, lol).

I buy a whole hen when on sale, Kroger 42 cents a pound, $5.00 or so. Boil it, then pull all the meat off in shreds.

Make an entire block of rotel dip with two cans of rotel, about $6.00 or so.

I buy frozen vegetables, so I use two packs of green peas or English peas, usually $1.00 a pack.

Boil a medium size bag of Egg Noodles, about $2.00 - $2.50.

Mix it all together in a large casserole dish, cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and go an additional 5 minutes. Feeds 5 for two days.

Mama Bass used plain noodles, I just like the taste of egg noodles myself.

Averages to about $1.50 a serving.
