re: What Can You Feed Your Family For $10?

When we needed to reduce our grocery budget earlier this year we did one thing that has made a huge health difference on our family: we gave up buying meat.

We aren't 100% vegetarian yet, as we still eat meat when we order a pizza (rarer now, but still an occaisional treat with bacon or pepperoni) or eat at other people's houses. At home, though, beans, a smattering of soy products and a smarter use of grains have replaced our meat consumption with leaner, cheaper, healthier options.

The bonus: we eat food that is healthier and more interesting than ever before!
