Thanks guys. Can you tell me what kind of meals you eat for that kind of money?
Depends on the menu - but if it's steak as in steak, mash, vegies - the we buy t-bone or sirloin - but remember this comes from bulk at the butcher portioned and frozen.

If it's to go in casseroles, stews, stirfrys etc - I slow cook ALL of it - so the cheaper cuts are fine since they'll get really tender in the slow cooker
