My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! I shop the grocery sales each week. Then I plan my menu based on the foods I have already at home (at a great price). I balance more expensive meals with less expensive ones. We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week. Each main dish cooked will serve 4-6, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving us lots of time!
For 2012, I will no longer be showing the cost breakdown for our meals. If you’d like to see some $5 menu ideas for 4 with cost breakdowns, please browse my pages for $5 Dinner Plans.

I am so envious. I would love to be able to eat at a Dairy Queen once again. We have a DQ in the food court of the mall, no food, just three flavors of Blizzard, Dilly bars, ice cream cones. That’s it.

Menu sounds wonderful! We love Little Caesar’s pizza and will actually be eating it this week too!
