Now i'm-not getting involved in the argument but here is my slant on cheapo healthy cooking

chicken, buy a cheap chicken of whatever provenance suits yopur morals, i'm happy with 3 quid from tesco, you may see different.

Learn how to joint it, you will get 2 breasts< two good sized legs and chuck the wings in a bag in the freezer till you have a decent bag full.

The breasts can be chopped for curries, stuffed with a bit of cheese and wrapped in a slice of bacon, poached in a little garlic and wine, grlled and toppd with a tomatoe puree spikes with herbs or spices of choice , braised in a stew with veg, flattened and stuffed with garlic butter, chpped mushrooms or a stuffing of sage and chopped veg.

The legs can be roasted, stewed or souped with a mix of barle, lentels, split peas etc (sod as broth mix in supermarkets) and whatever veg you have. Top with dumplings for extra yum.

Wings, when you have a decent bag, defrost, mix up tom puree, olive oil, chilli powder and garlic and shake in the bag. Leave overnight to take the flavour then grull or BBQ.

Beef, cheap cuts have most flavour but need longer to cook. When making bolognaise, make in a large batch, then make up lasagnes, canelloni, and save some for spag bol as it is.

Lamb

Only buy when in season as it too expensive otherwise. Then get cuts like shoulder and legs
