Win-It Wednesday: The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook (7 Winners!)

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!

And Erin’s hooked me up with a special treat for my readers:

    My husband is a deer hunter and we have a freezer full of deer meat. It makes for lots of cheap nutritious meals.

    We love to eat homemade pizza. We buy mozzarella and sauce in bulk, I make dough and it’s a super tasty special Friday night treat…that is also really affordable.

    a cheap dinner is scrambled egg whites with salsa. when its done put it on top of brown rice. cheap + healthy = perfect meal

  15. Jenny Peters

    My favorite budget-friendly & quick meal is baked ziti. Find both pasta and marinara sauce on super sales and w/ coupons. Boil pasta, drain, throw in the jar of pasta sauce, and add a few handfuls of mozzarella. Poor pasta mixture into a greased 9×13 pan, cover w/ more mozzarella and some shredded parmesan cheese, and bake for 30 minutes on 350. Delicious, easy, cheap!

    I thought I saw a coupon for a $1.00 off the cookbook at Walmart. May I missed it today or I’m wrong, please let me know.

    I like to save money by using chicken thighs instead of more expensive cuts of white meat. I also try to use the slow cooker a lot because, in addition to being convenient, it saves a lot of electricity!

  24. Eva

    I like to make sandwitches and eat a lot of chicken cooked in aall diffrent ways. I shop with coupons and whenever there are sles on the things I use often to provide healthy meals for myself.

  27. Emily

    I love making spaghetti…you can throw all kinds of veggies into the sauce and it is hard to discren how much goodness is in it

  28. Carrie

    My favorite healthy and cheap meal is beans and rice. For just a couple dollars, I can make a huge crockpot’s worth, which will make at least two meals with leftovers to freeze. I also love that it is time-frugal as well as money-frugal! Takes about 5 minutes to throw together.
