Many friends say that their main outgoing is meat/fish. I can get that cheaper by looking for reduced items at the right times, using cheaper cuts, looking for good offers or using vouchers. Also we don't eat meat or fish everyday. We might have omelettes for tea, or a dish made with beans such as kidney beans or chick peas.
Meat can be stretched. A roast chicken is cheaper than buying breast. We can make a chicken do three main meals and the bones make beautiful stock if you've time. Mince can be bulked out with veg, tomatoes and pulses such as lentils. Personally my favourite in mince are green lentils, but also red lentils. I've heard of grated carrots and porridge oats being used. Sausages can be chopped into a casserole so you need less, this is true of any meat or fish really. By bulking out with veg/pulses less meat is needed
