I am cheap too! I only buy the meat that is at the end of the meat section in the "almost expired section" theni go home and cook or BBQ it all at once to use in things. I only buy the really cheap steak,,you know ones i mean they have that sticker on them that say "beef for marinating"

one of the best things i ever bought was a big rubber meat tenderizer...i beat the crap out of my cheap steaks then cook them on the george forman grill. I buy chicken thighs all the time or drumsticks because they are the cheapest. I love to make buffalo thighs and what i call buffalo legs (drumsticks) I live off hamburgers. (Ionly buy the burger when it's on sale for .99 a pound then freeze it. I do splurge on cheese though. I can't imagine eating LC without cheese. I also use the butter wapper to grease pans. Also if you eat nothing but hamburgers and chicken it's much easier to enter into fitday
