Hambuger or Ground Turkey
I think that I have mentioned that I use ground turkey instead of ground beef. It has nothing to do with the fact that it is better for you.
It is cheap. I have found it between .69 a pound to 1.25 then compare that to ground beef, I haven't been able to get ground beef less than $1.50 a pound. I know there are somethings that ground beef is just better in. Another option is to use one lb of ground beef one of ground turkey cook together. Then use 1/2 one night and 1/2 another night. The family may not notice this change as much as if you just switch to ground turkey. I switched way back when my kids were little and the do not know the difference.
I have also found the recipes with beans in them are even less expensive.

Supper for $3.00
Yesterday I made Cabbage Casserole. I figured it cost under $3.00 for this meal and it was fairly easy to make. My children will eat just about anything so that is good. My prices are from Aldis this week. This was served with rice. It is getting harder and harder to make it supper for under $3.00. I use tround turkey because I can get a roll of it for under a dollar. It is one pound of meat.
If we had gone out for supper we could have easily spent $20. I rarely eat out with my children. If we go out to supper my children order water. Soda is so expensive and not good for them.
Cabbage Casserole
1 lb of ground turkey (.99)
1/2 onion chopped (.25)
1 head of cabbage chopped (1.00)
1 can tomato soup (.50)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook ground turkey and onion.
Cook the cabbage for 3 minutes in boiling water.
Spray the liner of a crockpot.
Layer in crock pot.
I cooked for 4 hours on low. If you are going to cook it longer I would add a little water.
