Family Meals That Cost Less

Breakfast was becoming one of the most expensive meals in our house. With the price of milk and cereal these days, I had to get creative and come up with some family meals for breakfast that cost less but yet still simple and appealing to my kids. Here are a few breakfast tips from a mom who needs simple morning meals that fit in a frugal family budget.

 

Cheap Family Meals Ideas For Breakfast

  • Instant oatmeal, pears and a glass of milk
  • 2 slices of toast, a can of mandarin oranges and a glass of milk
  • Leftover waffles from dinner, I toast these in the toaster, banana and a glass of milk
  • Pancakes (I buy muffin mixes that you add water to and make pancake batter with them) fruit and milk
  • Muffins (if time permits), peaches and milk
  • French toast leftovers (see dinner menu) I toast in the toaster, strawberries and glass of milk

And for those days when nothing is going right, I still break out the bowl and spoon and pour a good ‘ole bowl of cereal with milk.
If you have any cheap and easy breakfast ideas I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment or shoot me an e-mail.
