Recipes and Ideas for Dinner on a Dime

Budget Cooking.

Looking for inexpensive ways to cook?



Tired of spending more and more money at the grocery store after spending more and more money at the gas station? Looking for ways to cut this expense down to size? You've come to the right place! The cost of feeding our families has gone drastically up in recent months.

With gas prices on the rise, food prices have skyrocketed.

So how do we feed our families without going over our monthly food budgets?



There are ways to spend less money on foods (not taking into account coupons and refunds) and stretch our food dollar further than most people realize.

It does take planning. The most important thing you can do to save money on food expenses is to simply plan your menu in advance, write out a shopping list, and stick to it.

In a jam? Too much month left at the end of your money?

Are your cupboards bare but you only have $100 and two weeks left before payday?

With four kids?

Never fear! HillBilly Housewife is here!

Miss Maggie provides both a $45 and a $70 emergency food menu designed to feed a family of 6 for a week by budget cooking.

Now, $45 might seem like a lot in an emergency situation, but Miss Maggie assumes you have NO food items in your home. No flour, no salt, nothing.

We all know that even in the worst situation, there is usually something in the house.

Also, Miss Maggie makes sure that her budget cooking all-scratch recipes have nutrients to feed growing children, while still being budget cooking.

The HillBilly Housewife even has a selection of lunch box ideas as well as a menu for healthy foods.

No matter what your financial situation, or your eating habits, I highly suggest you check out this valuable resource for cutting food expenses.

Another wonderful low cost cooking resource is Saving Dinner.

This terrific budget cooking site by Leanne Ely provides healthy menus that can be emailed to you on a weekly basis, telling you what you need to buy and exactly how you need to cook it.

If you are like me, and are really bad at time management, or uncreative when it comes to cooking new foods for dinner, this service can be a life saver.
