Fighting off the Credit Crunch

Here is an audience participation post.

In these "credit crunching days", many people are having to cut back. However, you can only turn off so many lights, cut back so many miles driven, stop drinking quite so much, and who can do without their telephone or Internet? (Well, certainly not me...)

One place we are probably all guilty of splurging is food. Let's face it, we make a resolution to eat at home more, but still our grocery bills seem to get higher and higher. This is resulting in some very creative, "CC" meals. What have YOU done to reduce your grocery cost without sacrificing flavor or nutrition?

I'd like to know what you are making for your family (or having if you are not the cook) to fight inflation. What is your favorite budget meal? I want recipes!!! I want shopping lists!!
Here are the guidelines:

1. Easy to prepare (under 30 min is good, but not required)

2. Low in cost

3. Fairly nutritious

4. Easily freezable for leftovers or use in another meal

Think you can handle this?

Post your responses in the comments section. If you are not using a meal of your own, link to the appropriate page for credit to them.

I'd like to fill my freezer for those dark winter nights when I'm too flippin lazy to cook (as opposed to now, when I just don't want to, lol)

I'm looking forward to submissions!!
