I'm sure the frugal followers are always curious about meals that the frugal coupon ladies make. So I'm sharing what I have cooked this week. Sure a couple times a week we throw in chicken nuggets or taquitos but for the most part we have home cooked meals.
I purchased a roast 3.75lbs for $7.53 and it was used for three meals.
1st meal:
slow cooker Roast
Place chuck roast in a slow cooker with some Au Jus sauce. Made smashed potatoes ($.50) and served with two cans of green beans ($1.16), we used 1/3 of the beef ($2.51).
Total $4.17
2nd meal: French Dips
1/3 beef $2.51
Hoagie buns $.98
Monterey Jack Cheese $.45
Au Jus sauce $.35
Total $4.29
3rd meal: Fajitas and salad
1/3 beef $2.51
Tortillas $1.28
Fajita seasoning $.35
Cheese $.50
Salad $1.48
Total $6.12
We should get more vegetables than we do but we just aren't the veggie type of family. I try.

Great Ideas, thanks for the reminder to do this meal stretch/ repurpose. Do you eat the meat the same week or do you freeze portions for later use? We too are not big on veggies here so to get them in I add chopped carrots and celery in with my meat. I've done it so long that if I don't the guys think the meat tastes funny LOL
Sometimes I will freeze the meat and use it another time. This week I used all the week within a week. I was a little lazy and since the meat was already cooked everything else was easy.
