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.
