I have health problems, and eating healthy on a tight budget for 2 people can be challenging. I found that Addis has 1 lb packages of ground chicken for 3.50 (or they did when i bought them). Kroger is $5 per pound.
The other ingredients were store brand, except the cheese. I found Kraft sharp cheddar for sale.
For day 1 I added it to noodles with cheese for chili mac. Full disclosure – i ate a bowl and a half.
Idk what the prices are like now. I stocked in December, so the prices is from then.
Adding this to noodles, rice, or potatoes makes a pot of chili feed 2 people for 3 or 4 days.

Nice!!
I love chili and make it stupid cheap using all beans and cook them from dried in my instant pot, definitely takes longer but i make a ton and freeze extras
I have a huge bag of chili Mac in my freezer. The pasta for sure stretches the already huge meal. Kids love it that way. Always a win and versatile with what you have on hand.
Looks like some pretty fiestaware too
