I pick up whatever meat is on sale — often the store brand. Chicken thighs, ground beef, or pork shoulder. Then I use spices, onions, and garlic to make meals that don’t taste cheap. Last week, ground beef went on sale, so I made tacos for dinner and froze the rest. The family never complained, and I saved at least $10 compared to name-brand meat. Repetition and seasoning make it feel homemade and satisfying. #Food #BudgetMeals
