There’s a myth that eating cheap equals ramen noodles and macaroni, but I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Let's explore strategies for feeding your family well on a tight budget.
If you’re on a limited budget, you’re going to have to eat almost all of your meals at home, simply because it costs way less than eating out.
Menu Plan The Right Way To get the most bang for your buck, you will need to plan meals around what’s already in your pantry and then around what’s on sale or in season. This is called reverse meal planning and will save you money every time.
Cook From Scratch Anything that you can learn to make at home instead of buying will save you money. A few things that I cook from scratch are Ranch Seasoning, Tomato Sauce, and Bread.
Eat Simply I’m a big fan of keeping my life simple, including meals. Things like spaghetti, tacos, eggs and toast, soup and pasta are all simple, and quick, but won’t break the bank.
