(1,151 posts)I go to Kroger 3-5 times a week and they have a great manager's special meat section. I have to cook it that day but I can get something for 1 day (2 people) for $3-5 and enough for 2 days for $5-8. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey. Steaks, ground, chops, etc. depending on the day. Lately I've been getting some pretty good beef steaks as cheap as ground steak. The best deal is 4lb ground turkey for around $8. I brown it all and freeze what I don't need that day.
On the occasions they don't have a good special I get tofu ($1.50-$2.50) or kielbasa ($2.50-$3.50) which both last us 2 meals. And I have a bag of frozen fish in the freezer that are $1-$1.50/person. I get a bag when it's on sale and keep it until I don't get to the store or there's nothing cheap.
