by

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!

    It is amazing what you can do with a pound of ground chuck or ground beef such as spaggetti meat sauce, a small meatloaf made with saltines or oatmeal to stretch the meat, bean burritos with a small amount of beef in each, several casserole or skillet dinners call for only 1 pound of beef, browned ground beef with a gravy of cream of mushroom served over rice is a great budget stretcher also.

    This cookbook sounds wonderful. We have 3 little girls and I am due any day w/ our first little boy. Our grocery bill has been skyrocketing and we are definitely trying to cut it down w/ coupons etc. I would love to read what your friend has to say.

    My favorite inexpensive meal is homemade chicken noodle soup and orange rolls! The best thing about this meal is that the night before we have roasted chicken (that we buy or roast ourselves) and have that for dinner and then I use the leftovers for the soup. Then the soup makes enough that we can have it for dinner the next night! So, that’s 3 delicious meals in one! I try to use recipes that will make or use one meal into another…it saves money.

    I am a new subsriber! I would love to see this cookbook. I am not a big cook and could really use some help.

    I’ve been using the crock pot hoping to save a little money. Plus it’s good during this cold weather!

    We love to roast a chicken one night, then shred it and have enchiladas the next night, then use the carcass for a stock for chicken and dumplings. Tons of leftovers too!

    Favorite quick & easy dinner is tacos or taco salad, I always have the supplies on hand. I love to coupon, stockpile & meal plan. Keeping my pantry organized (my personal goal for this week) helps to make sure I use up items before they expire.
