How can I stretch my food budget when meat is so expensive?

Save Money on Meats

Cut back on the amount of meat used in your meals by substituting part of the meat with grains or beans. Oats and crumbled wheat bread are great ways to extend a meatloaf or meatballs. Use an extra can of beans and less meat in your chili. Experiment with some meatless meals such as spaghetti with meatless sauce, or some other hearty pasta or grain dish. They probably will not even notice the meat is missing.
