It seems like the prices of many foods, especially our favorite - meat, have skyrocketed lately. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make good quality meals (with meat!) for less money?

Iactually became a vegetarian at one point in my childs life, because I could no longer afford meat!! Thankfully it has come down in price (now it is the vegetables that are almost out of reach for us!!). At this time, I would stretch ground meats by adding TVP (textured vegetable protein). It takes on the taste of the meat, and is actually VERY good!!
I still buy "poor" cuts of meat, and if they are tough- then I marinate the "bejesus" out of them!!
