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 recipe is enchiladas – all the meat, veggies and starches in one flavorful roll – inexpensive cuts of chicken or beef make it reasonably priced. Throw in frozen corn and canned beans to stretch the meal and add fiber!

  6. Paula

    Great Northern Beans and Jiffy corn bread. (add small box of instant pudding mix and a little extra water to 2 boxes of Jiffy mix) The kids actually do a little war dance around the kitchen when they hear we are having Old Beans for dinner. 8^)

  10. Jessica

    My favorite budget friendly meal is anything with pasta. I make it healthy by adding canned or fresh tomatoes and using whole grain pasta (which I stock up on when I find it on sale!)

  13. Alison Scudder

    I like making breakfast for dinner. Eggs, pancakes, potatoes, and toast. Family loves it and it is a cheap alternative and quick too. Thanks for the giveaway.

  14. Sarah B

    My three boys love tater tot casserole. Burger, green beans, cheese and tater tots in a quick and easy casserole!

  15. Sarah B

    I have been a subscriber via email for almost a year now! I just love what you do and thank you for it!

    I love making a strata for an inexpensive meal, especially if I have to feed a lot of people for a breakfast or brunch. Eggs, milk, bread and any combo of meat, cheese, veggies you have on hand (a great way to use veggies on the brink).

  21. Danielle E.

    Our favorite inexpensive meal is goulash. Just 1 lb hamburger, onion, tomato juice, crushed tomato, lima beans, pasta and spices to taste.

  23. Rebecca

    I like to cook a whole chicken in our crockpot. We eat it for supper and then I chop up the rest and we use it in casseroles, etc. for the next few days. Or I freeze it for later use. And a whole chicken is pretty cost effective. I usually cook it with potatoes and carrots. Yum!

  24. Marie R

    My favorite cheap meal is spaghetti. I like to add vegetables and mozzarella cheese. Sometimes I use grill chicken instead of ground beef.

  26. Karen VandenBush

    One of my easy, cheap and quick meals are spaghetti. I usually will stock up on spaghetti and sauces when they are on sale and I have coupons to boot!

  29. Jenny

    We usually save the most by eating vegetarian meals. We love things like bean burritos and veggie soups with grilled cheese.
