10 Cheap Meal Ideas for a Tight Budget

Eating at home is so much cheaper AND healthier for you.  You know exactly what is going in to your meals. I really struggle with the prices now at a restaurant.  It is amazing how long we can eat off of what we pay for one average dinner for two at a restaurant.

  1. Breakfast for Dinner (pancakes, omelets, grits, hashbrowns, breakfast casserole, etc.)
  2. Extraordinary Linguine and Clam Sauce
  3. Salmon Patties
  4. Spaghetti
  5. Shrimp Gumbo
  6. Minestrone Soup
  7. Potato Soup (This is a great recipe that can easily be changed to clam chowder by adding a can of clams!)
  8. Chicken and  Rice
  9. BLT – I was 45 before I ever tried this and cannot believe how much I was missing!  I know…I please easily.  But seriously, what a great combination for a sandwich.  We did change ours, though.  We use spinach for ours, and we toast our bread.  YUMMY!
  10. For nights I do not feel like cooking, Little Ceasar’s has large peperoni pizzas for about $5.
