I can get a 5lb bag of potatoes for about $4 there or $2 at the vegetable market. I figure anytime I can get enough meat for one meal for around $8, I'm ahead of the game. That usually means ground beef.
We hardly eat meat any more which has ended up saving us a lot of cash. My wife doesn't at all and I do rarely. We do manage to get plenty of protein. She uses goat dairy and I goat and cow, plus we eat eggs. We do spend money on good fish at whole foods but still save a great deal by not planning meals around meat. And I feel better for it. I can now tell when I have eaten meat later - it's kind of like a hangover, sorta'.
