Good food cheap

you can get good food cheap on a pittance budget.  We all know that some foods are bad for us.   The medical establishment has outlined that we eat too much sodium, sugar and fat.  Saturated fat is more important to watch than cholesterol is what I've read and not all fats are created equal.   Avoid saturated fats and hydrogenated oils.    That pretty much means eat lean meats and only use olive and canola oils.    Butter  is ok in moderation.     Moderation seems to be the key word here.    The last information I heard was that we need six ounces of protein a day and so,e of,that should come from eggs. Eggs have cholesterol : the good cholesterol.  

This is the information that I have read recently.   Of course, you should research things yourself.  

Today, I am de-boning  chicken breast that I got for 1.28 a pound at FM.   They are Foster Farms, grown in Washington and processed in Washington. By spending  a little time ( probably less than twenty minutes for five large breasts.) I can have boneless, skinless chicken breast for 1.28 a pound instead of six dollars a pound or more, and I know where it came from and where it has been,  

My husband is grinding our hamburger today.    FM had London broil for 2.99 a pound,    I can't get good hambirger for that.   I picked a piece that had a little fat, but nit much,   We should get seven percent or less fat hamburger for less than three dollars a pound,    Grinding it stretches it further,    You will eat less as hamburger in a sauce or a burrito than you will if you eat a steak.    I always cook hamburger and de-fat it.   That's hard to do with a steak.  

Eggs , they have discovered recently, are good for you.   They are a dollar or less a dozen lately.   We eat breakfast for dinner once a week.  

Bean prices have gone up lately,   From .50 to closer to a dollar.   Pintos are still .67 at dollar tree.    Other beans are closer to a dollar.    One cup of beans cooked are three cups, so they say.  Even at two cups, that's a bargain .    My last calculations were still pennies a serving for beans and rice.  

Cheese , especially pizza cheese is lower in fat.    Cream soup basemcan be made from low sodium chicken  stock  , non fat milk, and cornstarch.    Good quality pasta can be purchased with coupons. (Barilla) and can be found for as little as a dollar at the dollar store.    Use,coupons to bring it down to anywhere from .38 to .75.   .   If you don't have s large family, measure it and only cook as many portions as you have people.     Pasta has a  very  l-o-n-g shelf life.  

The Internet and pinterest are good sources for cookouts recioes that are kowmcosr and still taste really good.
