Welcome back. I am hurting quite a bit now financially myself so can really feel the pain of trying to figure out what to buy that is low carb and lasts as well.

Myself and my two teenage girls are eating lowcarb. We have been eating a lot of broth based soups such as tonight. 2 and half hot Italian sausages diced up and fried. Add about 1/2 lbs of fresh or frozen broccoli and beef broth. It is really yummy. The smaller the pieces of meat and veg the further it goes. We do the same with chicken thighs, turkey legs, etc. Changing up the vegetable to cauliflower or green beans too. Sometimes I scrambled a couple of eggs and drip that into the broth as it boils. Floats to the top and it similar to a dumpling in that it absorbs the broth flavour. A good dash of hot sauce helps add some wow to this.
