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):
Cracked Pepper Pork Loin, Salad, Rice, Fresh Pears
Crockpot Salsa Chicken, Chips and Cheese Dip
Digiorno Pizza, Cheese Sticks and Apple Slices (hubby found the pizza/cheese sticks for $1.91!)
BBQ Pulled Pork, Green Beans, Honey Toast, Orange Slices
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.
