Where have you been looking for cheap eats? Shopping around will help
stretch your budget. Additionally, clever savings on sale chicken or
pork shoulder or turkey will often free up enough money to buy beef
when it's close to being under two bucks. You don't say where you (and
that can make a huge difference) but I can usually find beef and always
find pork under two bucks. Beef heart--typically under two bucks--
would be a terrific way to get boneless meat into your dog.

In most cases, ground with bone contains too much bone for regular
inclusion on a menu. It would not be surprising to find that your
ground product contains 50% bone; more than that even is not uncommon.

A chicken quarter is also more generous with consumable bone than your
dog needs on a regular basis. So building a diet on lots of bone for
one meal and then more bone as the second meal is not such a great
idea, long term. For some dogs that much daily bone would be nothing
but constipation city.

If you are feeding twice a day and your edible bone options are either
chicken quarters or ground meat/bone, it would be better for your dog
to eat one or the other, per day. But not both.
