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!

    Spanish food usually = inexpensive. 2 cups of rice, 1 can of beans, and chicken with several seasonings makes for a filling and inexpensive meal. (First saute chicken with salsa, onions, peppers and mix in adobo, cumin, a packet of sazon and some tomato sauce or paste, then add rice and beans and cook with rice)

    Arroz con pollo never gets old in my house!

    My favorite trick for inexpensive meals is to cook based on sales/ deals… free ground beef from the local butcher makes great/ healthy/ inexpensive tacos of meatloaf… love both! :)

  5. Amanda

    Chicken breasts, jar of salsa and tortillas. Slow cook the chicken with the salsa. Once done shred chicken (I usually add more salsa) and you have chicken tacos!! They are so moist and yummy!! Not only is it inexpensive but is fast.

    Egg bake! I just made one with a dozen eggs (Walmart when they were 88 cents), a cup of cheddar cheese, a cup of milk and a package of crumbled Jimmy Dean Sausage ($1 after coupon). Spray a glass pan, crumble the sausage, shred one cup of cheese on top of that and top with the eggs (beaten) and milk mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

    My favorite budget meals are always Winter ones… beans and cornbread, grilled cheese and tomato soup, etc. You can make a huge pot of something and have it last for several days!

  10. Tammy

    I love to challenge myself to spend no more than 4-6dollars a meal for my family and this book would help out a lot.

  12. Nicola

    My favorite inexpensive meal is macaroni n’ cheese mixed with tomato soup. All mixed together. It sounds gross, until you try it. :)

  26. E Simpson

    My favorite inexpensive meal is bean salad (5 cans of varying beans) + 1 cup splenda, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup canola oil, and 1 can rotel

  27. Chrissy

    One of my favorite money saving meals is taco soup. It uses lots of pantry foods and I can make it in the slow cooker.
