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!

    Our favorite inexpensive meal is chicken fried rice. It is also a great way to sneak in some veggies! To make it less expensive, we use veggies that we grew in our garden and we just pull them from the freezer when we need them.

    Our favorite cheap meal is homemade pizza, made all with ingredients that were bought with coupons. Thanks!

    When we have leftover chicken, we make soft tacos.
    We all like peppers(red, green, or yellow) on them too!

    Chicken One dish…..Boneless/skinless chicken breasts 80z Sour Cream, can of Cream of chicken. Mix soup and Sour cream and cover the bottom of a 9×13 lay chicken on top and cover with foil bake @ 350 for 1 hour or until no longer pink. Serve over rice. I usually use more soup and sour cream because we love the sauce .

    Our favorite cheap dinner would have to be vegan pot pie. Tofu, some mix frozen veggies and the cheap crust.

    I loved making mini-biscuit pizza’s when I got Pillsbury dinner rolls, pasta sauce and Hormel pepperoni cheap – It cost about $2.50 to feed my family of 5.

    Coupons and sales are my way to stretch my budget..One thing I like to do is buy ready made rotisserre chickens when they are on sale ($3.99 or less)..The chicken off them makes great casseroles and salad…semtaylor(at)yahoo(dot)com
