See if your local megamart has one day a week when they’re cheaper, especially. Even better is Costco if you know someone with a membership. Heck, may as well get a Costco hot dog while you’re there.
If you are up for cooking, look for whatever chicken parts are on sale each week or two.
Cook farro instead of rice, it’s chewy and nutty and has protein and fiber
Eat lentils
Bean, farro and cheese burrito - add some of that rotisserie chicken too
I’m really sorry for what you’re going through 💛

yummy and useful bird.
use the meat for a sandwich, make a pasta dish more filling, use in some soup, or go goblin mode and eat straight from the bone.
whole foods or wegmans is your spot for this!

Works great as a hot dish with a starch or as salad additions! marinades add awesome flavor to the chicken pretty easily- 1/4 cup each red wine vinegar and olive oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 2.5tsp salt, and a bunch (1tbsp) of dried oregano is roughly the Molly Baz marinade recipe I tried this week on a pack of chicken thighs, and it was great! Added some roasted carrot and rice pilaf for one dinner, then added the carrots and chicken to a salad today.
I also have gotten into making a flavorful ground turkey for a base - either taco style and make burrito bowls, tacos even nachos lol OR a larb style (recipe linked) and do a larb bowl with rice or mix the turkey with wavy stir fry noodles or cold rice noodle bowls. If you don’t mind eating things with the same flavor profile for multiple days, there are a bunch of options with these two flavors.
I like making things from scratch, but I’ve found using premade marinades and sauces makes it so much easier.
I am lactose too- these should all be fine to do without dairy! I just do guac or get lactose free sour cream on the taco nights
