$5 Dinners Your Family Will Love Over 30 Recipes!
When growing kids constantly want to eat you out of house and home, you have to find ways to get creative on dinner ideas.
When my kids were little, fixing toddler plates on the cheap was easy. I have three teens, and I am always looking for ways to stretch our food budget.
The meals I listed below can be made for about five dollars.
Quite a few of these recipes call for meat, such as beef. Beef can be more expensive, but I have found deals at my local farmer’s market, at my grocery store, and buying bulk or splitting a cow.
These are all great ways to save on meat. So something to keep in mind.
We also have a garden, which allows me to score most of my veggies for free.
When I don’t pull from our garden, and during the wintertime, I use my local farmer’s market (such as Horrocks or Fresh Thyme) to find specials.
I also shop for items when they are on sale or in season. I live in the Midwest, so five dollars can go a long way here.
However, if you’re in California, New York, or another area with higher prices, you will have to adjust your budget accordingly.
I put together this roundup of 30 Dinners under $5 bucks to hopefully help you get recipe ideas that will help stretch your food budget.
