Wow, very impressive cost breakdown with your meals. Where do you find your meat for so cheap? It costs at least 2-3 times that around here!

A while back I had coupons for $2 off Tyson frozen chicken breast and Walmart had the 2.5lb bags for $5.99 so I stocked up (the exact same bags of chicken cost $10 – $11 at the grocery store)! And the ground beef I just found last week at Walmart – 5lb chub for $6.50. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen ground beef in a while so I bought 2 chubs. As long as you buy it on sale and buy enough to last a while then you don’t ever have to pay full price! Meat can definitely be a budget killer!
