As Christmas approaches I realize my budget is getting very tight and I really have to focus on some inexpensive family meals right now.
I have learned over the years to prepare meals that are simple yet delicious during financial crunches.
Visit with me daily as I share as family meal ideas that are $5 or less to prepare and feed you family.
Mondays $5 menu idea is a easy ground beef meal, a one dish bake and my family devours it.
What more could a mom ask for, oh ya it’s cheap, the meal rings in at $4.75 to prepare.
