  Id like to keep my bill down to $150 a month, i dont mind big meals that last two nights or cooking more from scratch.
  Thanks.

  This is not costly and is healthy and yummy.
  
  Soup - 2 cans of veg all, 1 can of tomatoes, brown rice, chili powder, onion powder, a small amount of chicken, ground beef or a little link sausage. Goes a long way...Make some cornbread...a hit around here..filling and good for you!!

  I like to buy bag beans and cook them on low in the crock pot all day (of course you have to soak them all night).
  I like to use a bag of black eyed peas
  1-2 chopped onions
  some chicken or veggie bouillon mix
  several slices of pepperoni
  
  tasty and very inexpensive
