I also find that adding a few Asian seasonings to the grocery list (as the budget permits) helps to make the meal more "take out" feeling (so like a splurge). <br /><br />Fish sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, chili sauce (like Sriracha), and powdered ginger are fairly inexpensive and go a long way. Adding Chinese five spice or star anise is great too. <br /><br />I recently discovered Korean Beef made with ground beef. I can pick ground beef up for under $2/lb right now and with the addition of veggies, I can stretch three pounds out for two meals for our family of seven eaters. <br /><br />Does your family like Indian food? I have found that I can do that with cheap chicken cuts for fairly cheap. The base is tomatoes and spices, but I add zucchini or yellow squash and you can't tell! It spreads out the sauce for a few meals as well.
