Re: Inexpensive meal ideas
Eggs are your friends! I boil a dozen or so every week. They can be deviled, made into egg salad, or just eaten with pickles or fruit. Popeye sandwiches are also a good hot meal.
We get big packs of tortillas from Sam's, freeze most of them. Thaw as needed, warm briefly, roll something up in them (like egg salad, sliced meat, almost anything).
Cornbread is a good filling addition to any meal, I get the rather more expensive whole grain kind, make a batch every week or so. Good for snacks with butter and jelly, good dinner side with olive oil and herbs.
And there's the good ol' tuna salad, tuna fish is cheap. I eat in on rye crackers, very good and nutritious. Mix up the tuna with storebrand pickle relish and mayo, and some Sam's minced onion. Very filling.
