Look for ways to stretch what you make beyond just single meals with leftovers.. We cooked a pork shoulder in the crock pot the other day. That first meal was BBQ on fresh handmade buns.
Meal number 2 was this amazing pork BBQ chili. You can't even tell when looking at it, but there's a significant amount of our dried greens (kale etc.) in the chili. It provides great sources of greens and the family never cares they are eating them.
We don't have the money for a wonderful freeze dryer (its on the bucket list) so we invested in a dehydrator. Thats what we use for all of our homemade jerky, pumpkin flour, homemade fruit roll ups, powdered squash and zucchini, and of course our greens powder.
There are cheaper brands out there, but we've used the Excalibur dehydrator for years without a minute's trouble. I dropped a link below to the one we use if you're interested.

I think they also carry them online at Walmart:
