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!

    I love pasta as a inexpensive healthy meal. You can get whole grain and organic pasta sauce relatively inexpensively.

    the kids would say tacos or chicken soup-which I use canned broth and add my own veggies , canned chicken and noodles

    Our favorite low-cost meals are spaghetti and “leftovers soup!” And the kids love them both! :) It’s a win-win!

    My favorite inexpensive meal is pasta with veggies. You can get frozen veggies for cheap, which you throw in with your favorite pasta for a great filling and healthy meal.

    I just throw boneless chicken in my crockpot, cover it with bbq sauce and add a little water. I make rice to go with it and it’s delicious!

    My go-to cheap and healthy meals all revolve around a roasting chicken that usually costs aroung $6.00 for our family of 4.
    Meal #1 Roast chicken and pilaf w/veggies
    Meal # 2 Chicken a la King
    Meal # 3 and a couple lunches Soup with rice and left-over veggies

    My favorite budget meal is Pasta and Beans (Pasta Fagioli). What I do to balance nutrition and my budget is using coupons.

    Favorite inexpensive meal: Turkey lettuce wraps

    Ingredients:

    Ground Turkey
    Shredded carrots
    Teriyaki Sauce
    Lettuce leaves
    Rice

    Brown ground turkey. When brown add 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and shredded carrots . Simmer 5 minutes until most liquid is absorbed. Serve with rice and lettuce leaves. Use lettuce to ‘wrap’ turkey mixture. Yum!

    I love crock pot meals. You can usually get more than one meal out of it and they’re super easy!
