    I LOVE cheese...Low fat, no fat, any kind of cheese! I buy the bulk packages of boneless skinless chicken beasts from Sam's ($1.88 per pound), then portion them out and freeze them. Peanut butter, egg whites (I buy 2.5 dozen eggs at a time, and I don't feel bad about chucking the yolks).

    Pork is pretty cheap, and while the cheap cuts have a lot of fat it tends to be very localized and easy to cut off (unlike fatty beef which is marbled). Chicken thighs are even cheaper, but I can't honestly recommend it.

    If you like the taste, beef heart is dirt cheap and filled with protein.

    Also a little trick..get a cheap meat grinder for around 20-30.00, buy some eye of round or london broil (both lean and cheap)

    Now you have very lean, cheap ground beef

    You're welcome :D

    thanks for that idea. Onto it.

    Definitely not $20 in oz though. Still worth it.

    buy in bulk when on special. Chest freezers are great for this. chicken is normally around $11-12/kg here. At the moment, $9 so I bought 10kg yesterday.
