I've been adding meat recently from sales. Yesterday I made "hamburger gravel" so that it does not need even refrigeration, and reconstitutes within ten minutes in hot water. Easy enough to make, as well.

Not bad!

I get cans of chili (no beans)...which is basically a can of hamburger with some chili sauce. And ofcourse...bacon flavored spam :)

I also picked up a block of velveta last week.

I know about the losing electric thing...I'm taking a chance with frozen meats...but I am stocked up on most other things so...I'll risk it.
