I agree with you! There are lessons to be learned when you force yourself to think outside the box also. I made meals within the $10.00 this week for a family of 4. If I bought in bulk, I saved even more. We can cheat the system if we are careful.

In these days where money is scarce but the needs are not, it pays to watch where your money goes. Also, some products go further than others. I buy the leftover tomatoes from one of the farmers markets, where they are a little bruise or not sold. I make my spaghetti sauce with it, they are less than half price, and then I can it or freeze some. I can usually get about 6-8 meals out of it, for less than $10.00 for the tomatoes. Of course, that is less the meat, but, still a great bargain!
