Good luck to you. Start with the chicken soup!

Buy large portions, divide it up and freeze it. Buy fresh, in-season fruits and veggies, keep some and freeze the rest. Don't buy junk food. Limit eating meat to a few times a week. Don't buy soda, or buy only a bottle at at time, not cases. Learn to like oatmeal. There a a dozen different ways to cook an egg. Don't cook dinner for mooching friends. (And/or become a mooching friend?) Save money by cutting down on other things (tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, shopping for useless things) then spend what you saved on stuff you can freeze - and freeze it in individual portions.
If your tight on money, try beans with ham-hocks depending how many in the family one 16 ounce bag will feed a family of 8. I love my crock pot! I can cook a few pieces of chicken and make an entire pot of chicken and dumplings. Buy flour and sugar and tea and make tea instead of buying soda. Drink more water and kool-aid. Make your own things like biscuits instead of store buying. There was a time when I had $20.00 for a family of 5 and had to budget everything. I didn't have a lot of money then and am grateful for the things I learned to do. Chicken and hamburger are your cheapest meats. Flour and sugar and tea, and cooking oil can be made to last.
Buy bulk goods (rice, beans, pasta, etc) and use those as the base for your meals. Add in meat and veggies and suck for flavor an nutrition, but don't make meals of a big slab of streak. Make enough so that you can freeze it or eat if for a few meals. Chile, pasta salad, fried rice, lentils, homemade mack and cheese (not the packaged stuff) foods like that... sure it takes more time, but it costs a lot less





For meat I often buy roasts and cut them into steaks, then freeze them.





Same thing with beans than need to be soaked before cooking. Soak a bunch more than you need, then freeze a portion of them. Next time you want to cook with them you don't have to go through the hours long soaking process.
Carb heavy meals tend to be cheaper. E.g . Jacket potatoes, stir-fry (with noodles or rice), pasta bake, tuna mayo pasta or just sandwiches. Toast is a cheap and easy snack. Always add vegetables to your meals to bulk out and improve nutritional content (tinned and frozen veg can work out cheaper and keep for longer).
When I was a kid , Pinto Beans and Fried Potatoes ! Beans are about a dollar , and Potatoes ar about 3 or 4 dollars for 5pound. And they Will last a Couple of Days.


P.S.


Beans, Beans good For the Heart , The more You Eat the More You FART ! The More You Fart the Better You Feel , SO EAT BEANS So eat Beans for EVERY MEAL !
My wife and I have been through all sorts of different sites and most of them are deceptive and tried sticking their hands in our pockets. In our search, my wife and I have found a couple of real legitimate money making sites. I talk about them and include links to the three that I recommend on my blog.
