It’s frustrating to spend so much money on a few staple items at the grocery store. While you can’t control food costs in a volatile market, you can save your budget with some creative meal planning and cheap dinner ideas.
Sometimes you’re a busy family on the go and need a cheap dinner idea with little to no cooking for an easy weeknight meal. A sandwich can meet both needs with a few simple ingredients. Sandwiches for supper are a quick and cost-effective option.
Oatmeal, fruits and omelets are nutritious choices that are easy to prepare at dinner time. A breakfast casserole combines eggs, sausage, cheeses, and croissants to make an all-in-one pan dish that can feed a family of 4.
If you like apples, combine one can of apple pie filling, a box of yellow cake mix, and butter in the crockpot for two hours. The result is a delicious dessert that tastes as good as it smells for less than $5!
Cheap dinner ideas can save your time and your grocery budget without compromising flavor or variety. Vegetables can be added to your meals for cost savings and added health benefits.
