Low cost WLS friendly foods?
Well, lots of tuna and eggs. Far too many recipes to list though. Sometimes you can get good deals on tuna. One of our local stores has 10 for $10 specials and I stock up. You can use eggs in a lot of different dishes. Stay clear of pre-packaged items like string cheese or other things that are already measured out. Buy a block of cheese and cut it yourself. Frozen veggies are just as good as fresh and usually a lot cheaper. Buy in bulk when you can but don't get more than you can use before it goes bad. "Greek" style yogurt can be expensive. Just buy plain yogurt and drain it overnight in cheesecloth in the frig. It will remove a lot of the water and make it firm. Hope this helps!

Cottage cheese is a staple in my house
Tyson chicken breasts from Sam's
Kroger Carbmaster yogurt (49 cents but on sale pretty regularly 3/$1)
Tuna
Eggs
Lunchmeat
look for marked-down meats, they can still be frozen and made later
Spaghetti's always good and cheap, and you can get full on meat/meatballs and sauce with cheese
