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!

Fave inexpensive meal- hot dogs and chips! LOL …when I don’t feel like cooking my kids think it is such a treat to get to have hot dogs and chips since we don’t eat like that on a normal day! I see the $5 dinner mom has a tab about food allergies, which my daughter has. I will definitely be checking the website out & hope hope hope I win a book!

My easy, go-to meal is pasta! Haha, not very complicated! To make it even easier, I’ve started browning several pounds of ground beef at a time (seasoning it with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic) and freezing it in small bags. When I want to put meat in my spaghetti sauce, I just have to pull out a bag of pre-cooked meat and add it to the sauce.
