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 at us
lots of time!

This week we’ll be cooking (in no particular order):
Chicken Quesadillas, Chips and Cheese Dip, Pineapple
Baked Potato Soup, Fresh Plums
Grilled Pork Chops, Green Beans, Honey Toast, Fresh Peaches
Little Caesar’s Pizza and Apple Slices (would it be my menu plan without a pizza??)
For 2012, I will no longer be showing
the cost breakdown for our meals. If you’d like to see some $5 menu ideas with cost
breakdowns, please browse my pages for $5 Dinner Plans.
