Win-It Wednesday: The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook (7 Winners!)

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!

And Erin’s hooked me up with a special treat for my readers:

    Since my fiance and I are both working and going to school, we often don’t have time to cook “real” meals, especially to eat together. We generally end up eating on our own, so my favorite meals to make are those that can be reheated later on and used for leftovers. Any meal that I can get on a good sale (especially with a coupon) is considered a budget meal in our house. We accommodate our meals to whatever’s on sale. If chicken’s on sale, we buy a bunch of chicken & go home & find recipes online for things we can make with items we already have in the pantry. It’s a crazy system, but it works for us.

    I love Crockpot meals! And now, when it’s literally below freezing outside, there’s nothing like warm potato soup. Although not the healthiest (especially after I add cheese and bacon), it hits the spot!

    Using coupons for free food really stretches.
    I take one of my free pkgs. of hot dogs and make a casserole of it.
    Slice the hot dogs, mix in celery soup, mayonnaise, onions, diced tomatoes, basil and thyme, diced celery. Top with buttered bread crumbs and bake.
    Very yummy.

    We love turkey chili. Combine a few dented cans of beans found on clearance and a few other low cost ingredients and voila!

    I love the Kroger brand breaded chicken tenders. Cook those and then throw on top of some letteuce and cheese for a delicious salad!
