Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!

Today is also the last day to enter to win $250 from Lottay.com!

Many of you have probably already heard of $5 Dinners, the blog written by my good bloggy friend, Erin Chase, that shares healthy, delicious, and affordable meals. And by “affordable,” I mean ultra-frugal — every recipe can feed a family for $5 or less!

If you’re already a fan of Erin’s or are now intrigued and interested to find out how you can prepare meals in your own home for $5 and under, you’ll be thrilled to find out that she recently published her own cookbook, The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook.

This cookbook is jam-packed with not only recipes that can be prepared for $5 or less but also step-by-step instructions and tips on how you can pare down your grocery bill and feed your family for less. This is a must-read for those of you trying to stretch your budgets right now or anyone just trying to save in some areas so you can spend in others!

    Anything with pasta helps to make the meal go further. The crockpot is my best friend as less expensive cuts of meat can be great. I am definitely going to “do” the rotisserie chicken idea! Thanks for sharing! I use those also for chicken enchiladas (recipes on recipezaar.com)

    my favorite inexpensive meal is cheesy chicken with broccoli and rice! it is only chicken, velveeta, broccoli, and rice. so yummy!

    chicken and alfredo and lots of different pasta dishes, plus the leftovers make great lunches. Nothing better than a large pot of vegetable soup on these cold snowy days.

    Spaghetti is my go-to low cost meal. To save money, I clip, clip, clip,
    and compare, compare, compare.

    Favorite cheap/quick meal is spagetti with tomato sauce. Throw in a loaf of bread and it is a filling meal everyone enjoys!

    My fave. inexpensive, quick meal (which also makes a tonne, we have a family of 7) is “POTATO CORN CHOWDER”
    You peel as many potatoes as you want (so for my huge family, I’ll peel about 14-15 decent sized potatoes, which we get from farmers when they harvest them, you can call some farmers, and they’ll let you walk down the fields that they’ve already done, and pick up any and as many that have fallen from the truck or they missed, and we always end up with 5-6 huge plastic bins!)
    In a pot, add 1/2 cup butter & spring onions, wait till they soften, add about 2 TBSP flour (for thickness) then add 3C of chicken broth and water (again, depending on the size of the meal you want, if it’s for a family of 4, then add only 1 and a half Cups)
    Bring to boil, add your potatoes, turn the stove down to between low and medium, and after about 1 hour, add a packet of frozen corn. Stir occasionally, when the potatoes are soft – it’s ready! Easy, & cheap!

    I don’t know any super-cheap ways to feed my family – that’s why I want to win this book! Pasta, I guess.
