    I agree with lentils, I just made a lentil ragu and it was delicious- you wouldn't know it was meat free! I also used it to make individual lasagnas for the freezer. Loads of Indian dishes are cheap, nutritious and delicious- microwave dahl is one of my faves!

    Clean out your freezer of things you won't eat. Then, go shopping for bulk items, including frozen veggies. If you can stock your freezer with meat and veggies, you'll have more options for cooking dinner. We end up getting Costco meat, which costs a big chuck at one time, but actually saves money for the next couple of months, so it works out well.

    Look online for budget recipes as well. There's a lot of good recipes for cheaper cuts of meat that work well, so you don't have to go buy steaks to have a good tasting meal. One I've used before is http://www.budgetbytes.com/ , though I know there are others out there.

    I can't recommend budget bytes more. Her basic chilli dish is the bomb!
