I'm sure prices vary compared vary by region (I'm in Texas.), but from my experience, there are certain types of meat which will go on sale for around $0.99/lb. These include: Chicken breasts (bone-in but if you're lucky, from a protein/money perspective, boneless) Ground beef Pork chops (usually bone-in) Some things are even cheaper. Chicken leg quarters are cheap as poo poo. I get them on sale for $0.39/lb. They're perfectly fine when roasted, and bones can go toward stock. Worst case you roast your leg quarters, take off all of the meat, make something like a pot pie with it, and use the bones for stock. Drumsticks and whole chickens are also cheaper than $1/lb, usually. If you can find stew meat for $2/lb or less, buy it. Buy fruit when it's on sale and in season. When bananas are cheap, they're pretty much the cheapest thing. I second jambalaya, chili, and making your own bread (if you eat bread). Quinoa is great, too; the cheapest I've found it is actually at the Whole Foods bulk section. Whole Foods also has cheap store-brand soymilk if you're into such things.
