Keep Meat to a Minimum / Chop Your Meat

Meat is expensive, so we try to stretch it as far as we can. Here are some of the ways we do that: 1) Replace meat with new favorite items: We add beans to tacos and quesadillas so that we can use less meat. They’re inexpensive, filling, and so good for you, 2) Chop your meat: Instead of serving a big expensive steak, add a little chopped meat over your meals. Or smaller steak slices. For example, add a bit of chopped ham to a salad and baked potato meal. Learn more with our post on The Easiest Way to Eat Healthy on a Budget.
