Saw downvotes for recommending chicken instead of buying expensive meats.
Just a reminder that if you can cook, delicious food still tastes delicious regardless if its chicken or beef.
Cons of beef-
Bad for the environment
Expensive
More fats
Pros Chicken-
Versatile
Low cost(highest protein per dollar out of meats)
Better for the environment
High Protein/Calorie ratio
I'm a big fan of Fajitas, Curry, Alfredo, and our Thai Friend Rice chicken dishes. They are soo good I eat leftovers for breakfast.
Learning how to cook saves you money eating out, and saves you money on meat prices. I highly recommend /r/AskCulinary for growing your understanding. Especially as you get better and ask more niche questions.
While beef is an interesting flavor, its a lifestyle/luxury rather than a frugal choice. And the obligatory: Be frugal so you can spend money on things that make your life enjoyable. If your life revolves around enjoying beef, this does not apply to you.
