Sometimes I find chicken really good prices like $.58/lb for a whole chicken. You can throw the whole thing in the crockpot and get amazing shredded chicken out of it. Any shredded meat always goes way further than ground meat IMO

My mom use to give us just rice and beans sometimes. Hope that helps mama

Rice and beans can be mixed together. Pack of hot dogs are really cheap. You can put that in or eat them on the side. Call your local churches for food give sways. Call social services. Apply for food stamps.
