I just wanted to say I am sorry, and I hope your husband recovers quickly.

Meat can be expensive! Maybe you can get it to last longer making low carb soups and casseroles? Spread it out over several meals. Right now, veggies are comming into season in certain areas and they are reducing in price-perhaps you can add more of those and less than the meat.

Also, I put Meat Coupons in a search engine and it came up with TONS of sites. I seem to recall a news story that had a man spend about $20 on over $100 worth of food using just coupons and special offers. It is a lot of work, but if you search some, I think you can do it.
