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!

    My most inexpensive yummy meal is old fashioned pinto beans and cornbread. Costs about $5 to make and feeds us for at least 2 meals.

  4. Mary C.

    One of my favorite, inexpensive and healthy meals is chili.
    1lb ground beef
    2 quarts home canned tomatoes
    1lb dried beans, soaked overnight
    Slow cook or simmer on stove all day. Add chili powder as desired.

    My favorite easy and cheap meal is plain only spaghetti. I stock up on hamburger when it’s cheap and brown it all up and package in 1lb packages to freeze. All I have to do is take out a pkg of burger to thaw, brown it and add a can of spaghetti sauce and cook the noodles. Cheap and easy. And it’s my family’s favorite quick meal. Thank you for the giveaway. I’m always looking for new cheap and easy ideas for dinner.

    Pasta with frozen vegies or leftover vegies. Use butter/parmesan, spaghetti sauce or salad dressing.

  10. Ella

    My family loves homemade tortillas and refried beans– super cheap, but a little time-consuming.

  13. Heather

    My favorite inexpensive meal is beans and rice. Spanish rice and black beans, dirty rice and kidney beans… you name it, we’re eating a lot of it right before payday!

  16. Lori Taube

    I love making homemade soups and stews which provide a lot of food for a relatively low amount of money. I also love spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken breasts marinated in italian dressing!

  19. Terressa T.

    my quickest and healthiest and inexpensive go-to meal is bean and cheese quesadillas-the kids LOVE them! we call them tortilla pizzas ( I cut them up in triangles, seems to help in the eating process) I throw in some fresh veggies we have on hand and a glass of juice to make it low cost and well rounded. yummy!!

  21. Suzanne Gracie

    My favorite inexpensive meal is baked chicken and rice. I like it because it is yummy, healthy, easy to make, and easy to keep ingredients in the house.

  27. Val

    Brown rice with veggies. Any kind of pasta, or scrambled eggs. There are so many good frugal choices, but I’d love to win this cookbook to have more ideas.

  28. Sam Clark

    My favorite cheap meal is beef and noodles. It is less expensive if you use hamburger instead of roast meat.
