** Posted in Cooking section but wanted some tips from parents also** I’m sitting here trying to figure out how we can possibly save more money. I can’t skimp too much on certain things with groceries but I can skimp when it comes to my husband and myself. My son is 21 months old and has to eat properly. I also have to make his lunch for school and I try to buy healthy stuff for him and well, healthy isn’t exactly cheap. And lots of fruits or veggies go to waste because I can’t cook them fast enough. So my question to some of you is this…. What are your “poor man” meals? What do you guys make for dinner that costs very little but serves a lot? Please provide your recipes if you can. The one meal that we make a huge portion of is called “American Chop Suey”. It’s nothing like it’s name but we basically just take a huge portion of sauce, tomato soup, elbow macaroni, some diced onions and ground hamburg. Mix it all up and freeze what you don’t use up. Usually one big batch serves us for at least 3 other meals. So what types of meals do you guys make when you’re pinching pennies??
