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 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!

    i love working with the crockpot which makes bigger meals and then changing leftovers to some other meal that was just as amazing as the first!

  6. Tessa

    Favorite recipe on the cheap – chicken, dumplings, and whatever veggies must be cooked before going bad.

  8. Heather

    Breakfast for dinner is a favorite in our house. You can’t get much cheaper than pancakes and eggs.

  10. Amber

    I really love wraps. For lunch, or a little snack. They’re quick, healthy, & delicious! I usually fill mine with veggies or spring mix, lean turkey, any good cheese, & sometimes hummus. & my son loves them too!

  12. Whitney

    We have “breakfast” for dinner about once a week. Pancakes, french toast, or egg sandwiches…it’s easy, cheap, and the kids love it!

  13. Mandy

    When I need a quick dinner, I like to make breakfast with some fruit. It is really quick, delicious and somewhat healthy.

  17. Sara

    One of my favorite inexpensive meals is roast (cooked in the crock pot so it’s super easy too!). I only buy them when they are BOGO free and since our kids are little and they don’t eat a lot of meat, I’m able to get the smallest ones the store has. Add a can of green beans (bought with coupons of course) some carrots and a few cut up potatoes and it’s a wonderful meal for not a lot of money. There are always enough left overs for lunch the next day (I like to shred up the meat and make BBQ sandwiches) and the broth makes for some wonderful noodles!

    we like to make ramen noodles as a noodle dish, not soup. i know that the packets are loaded with sodium and junk so i use as few of them as possible and add several packages of frozen vegetables.

    Expensive meals at my house include: tacos, pasta, egg noodles with scrambled eggs, or sometimes even breakfast for dinner. All are kid-friendly at my house plus easy to prepare! Thats a win-win.

  21. Danetta

    I love making tacos, enchiladas, burritos and pasta dishes. I also make quite a lot of dishes that use ground beef or chicken as the main ingredient because there are so many different things that can made with them.

  25. Julie

    At my house we search meals based on ingredients from coupon sales for instance I have a ton of stove top stuffing from thanksgiving sales so this week one meal will be some kind of stuffing casserole. I would love to see more of this $5 meal book

  27. Amanda

    My fave cheap meal is beans and rice! I survived on this in college and love it to this day. Just add some salsa and cheese and you’re good to go!

    I only receive your rss feed.
    Ground Turkey is very inexpensive and if seasoned correctly, can take the place of beef anytime.
