Frugal Recipes

I use a crock pot to cook stews in that way you can buy a cheaper cut of meat. I save all the bits of veggies and make soup. Peel spuds a bit thicker then use the skins as a meal, toss them in olive oil and herbs and spices and cook in oven until cooked, use the rest of the spuds the next day. I'll put my thinking cap on for you as to what else I do, bit short on time at mo, but wanted to answer so I didn't lose you. We live on a tight budget as well.

We do lots of soups here. Water is cheap and a main ingredient in my soups. I think we are going to have taco soup tonight. I really just dump what we have on hand in a pot and heat it up with taco seasoning. I dont know if its good or if my family has adjusted to the way I cook but they seem to love it. We also do planned leftovers so we might have a roast on Monday then plan a roast beef sandwhich for Tuesday.
