I'm planning an extreme grocery budget challenge where I'll be eating for $22 for the week. I'm planning frugal meals to save money on groceries and eat frugally by planning budget friendly meals. In this Walmart grocery haul I'll be reusing ingredients across meals. This meal plan can be doubled or tripled to feed a family on a budget for frugal living.

DICED CELERY

CHILI

3/4 c diced celery
5 cups pinto beans
1 pound ground turkey
1 large can crushed tomatoes
3 tbsp chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
chicken bouillon powder to taste
*1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder (optional)
*2 bay leaves (optional)
3 cups water (or fill tomato can full of water=3 cups)

sauté celery and onions until soft. Remove from pan. Brown ground turkey, drain fat. add remaining ingredients. simmer for at least 23 hours or in crock pot on low.
Top with cheddar, sour cream and crispy tortilla strips.

For a richer chili, add one carton of chicken broth as well as a tablespoon of the chicken bouillon ( to taste). This chili makes a lot of servings and will probably feed two people for 34 meals. If you are feeding a larger family you can triple this recipe, but omit doubling the meat for every second person.
