Find out how to make delicious, budget-friendly meals with cheap cuts of meat on your grill.

I’m all about sticking to my budget. Unfortunately some of my favorite meats to grill are on the expensive side. Beef tenderloin runs around $15 per pound—even chicken breast is expensive at around $6.50 per pound. I wanted to see if I can set a limit and not spend more than $6 per pound for anything that lands on my grill. Will I be left with anything that’s still worth eating? Yes! Here are 5 of the best, healthy, budget-friendly cuts of meat to grill all summer long.
