    We buy a LOT of bulk (I'm not sure if many grocery stores have a bulk section though.). That's where we get oats, beans, quinoa, rice, flax, nuts, etc. Flash frozen fish is a really good deal, as is chicken. Whole chickens are much cheaper than breasts, etc. Make your own pasta sauce from canned tomatoes. Meat is totally expensive, so we just have to buy it very rarely ( ground beef, turkey, and pork aren't TOO bad). Fresh fruits and veggies really aren't that expensive, unless it's something that's out of season. Buy lots of frozen fruit too. Learn to love beans if you don't, they're a lifesaver!

    ps. Not to sound *****y, but does he want meat, or for the baby to eat? Gotta sacrifice sometimes.
