I was wondering if any trying to save money on food have any go-to recipes that are cheap, good, and easy?
I wanted to try spagetthi with tuna fried in garlic butter, but to my luck I dropped the frickin garlic butter on the floor, so I have to test it out next week. If this is good, that’s a really cheap meal, both spagetthi and tuna is dirt cheap food and also healthy.
I just ate some strawberries from Aldi for €2/$2 for 500g/1.1lbs. Great taste, a healthy meal and good for mental health.
baked potato with cheese and baked beans
Hey @magz
I would just pick a cheap:
-protein (chicken, tuna, eggs, some types of meat and fish)
-ch (rice, pasta, potato, bread)
-fat (butter, oil, avocado, nuts)
-vegetables (most of them are cheap and fresh)
-fruit (this one is tricky but you can get for cheap as well)
And make sure I got a mix for each meal. That way you eat more healthy, you don’t get bored and it satisfies a little bit our desire to have everything in cathegories…
Idk if this is considered cheap but I love rotisserie chickens
I say cheap because chicken is cheaper than beef. Rotisseries may be more expensive than raw chicken and cooking it yourself but I suck at cooking so. I take the middle ground and buy them. It’s a decent amount of meat for 5-10 dollars
Beans and WIENERS
thanks for the tips all, it’s helpful.
Lentil curries! They’re dirt cheap to make.
Cheese, refried beans, and tortillas for burritos. Spaghetti goes a long way if I can stomach eating so much of it. Eggs were cheap and you can do all sorts of things with eggs. Plus they’re nutritional.
I like microwaving cheese bagels, theyre pretty cheap
Mixed veg, a protein and a wrap
Tuna, sliced fresh jalapeno and rice, with a side of a veggie on sale that week.
A lady at the grocery store just told me this one today
A potato with sour cream, black bean and seasoning
Lentils, beans and rice, pasta
Instant noodles with some vegetables, maybe a small can of tuna.
Stew cooked in a slow cooker. Carrot, chopped potato, celery, swede, beef skirt, beef stock and dumplings.
Stir fried vegetables with rice is fairly cheap and easy. You can easily make four tasty meals from just veg seasoning and rice.
Ginger garlic soy sauce honey (can add chillis too if you want)
Basically any veg you like (I like pepper broccoli carrot)
Rice
Boil the rice
Chop the veg up.
Heat the ginger and garlic (and chillis) in a pan. Add veg. Move them around so they don’t burn. Add soy sauce and honey near the end.
Portion up.
where i live rotisserie chickens cost significantly less than buying a whole raw
True dude nice! Yea at Costco and such they’re really cheap. Nevermind all the trouble someone would have to go through to make a whole rotisserie chicken at home lol and it wouldn’t taste as good imo
