    Also, if you have a Trader Joe's by you, they have good almond butter at a decent price.

    There are millions of things you can throw grilled chicken into. Omelettes and rice being my favorites.

    Used to get greek yogurt at Wally World. Sorry, can't remember the brand. Roast chicken can be obtained there as well. It's quick, easy and fairly inexpensive.
    What about almond butter? It's another cheap alternative. Have you tried tofu? Very inexpensive and versatile. Hit the deli section for lunch meat. Another vote for cottage cheese. Eggs, you would be hard pressed to find a cheaper source of protein. Look into steel cut oatmeal. Not a lot of protein, but again very versatile. All should be available at your local Wally World.

    No tofu, its a soy products and I cant tolerate soy in many ways. almond butter is not cheap where I live its almost $8 a small jar and that is not in my budget right now.I eat old fashioned oatmeal because the steel cut for a small container here is more than $5 and Im on a budget.I do eat lunch meat once in awhile but again with the way prices are its not something I can afford every week(plus Im not the only one who eats it).cottage cheese I will eat also but that too is only something I can eat once in awhile.I live in WV and a lot of things are more expensive than they may be in other states yet, we are a "poorer" state,go figure.

    I do eat chicken a few times a week though. my problem is I get tired of eating the same things over and over no matter how its cooked,seasoned,etc. Im weird lol.But thanks for the suggestions
