Staying on budget while planning out meals for your family can be hard some weeks. Especially when you're waiting for payday to arrive. Today I'm sharing with you one of my great weekly meal plans on a budget.
Tips for Budget Friendly Meals
- Try to use what you have on hand in your pantry to put together a meal. Items like beans, rice, pasta and flour tortillas are all cheap pantry ingredients that can be the start of a great meal.
- Avoid waste and use leftovers for another meal during the week. For example, use the leftovers from a whole roasted chicken to make chicken enchiladas or chicken soup.
- Use the slow cooker for tougher pieces of meat that are also less expensive. Don't purchase stew meat already cut and cubed in the grocery store. That can be expensive. Instead buy a a chuck roast and cut it up for stew and soup at home.
- Don't be afraid to serve hot dogs or even frozen pizza to your family for dinner. As long as it's not every night, it's fine. And always serve a vegetable or even a salad alongside.
- Have a breakfast night one day this week. Making a batch of homemade pancakes with canned peaches is always budget-friendly.
