do you have any recipes that are really cheap?

I too am on a tight budget and look for frugal ways to feed my family. I have many cookbooks and love sharing recipes! Here are some tips I have learned to help save some money and minimize wasting food as much as possible. If you have any particular recipe in mind, let me know. Maybe I can find it for ya! TIPS *We often have one leftover night a week. I just heat everything up and serve it buffet style on the table. That helps use it up without it expiring in the fridge. *I cook large pieces of meat on occasion, such as a roast or a whole chicken. I often take those leftovers/carcases with meat remaining and change the whole face of it and make a new meal. For instance, with the chicken, I will simmer the carcas until all the meat falls off the bone. There usually is quite a bit! I take that and make chicken salad or use the chicken in enchiladas or a casserole. For the leftover roast, I often shred that and make barbecue beef sandwiches or use that meat for storganoff. *Late bake or almost stale bread is excellent for French toast. We use it when it is almost time to throw it out, and it is no longer fresh enough for sandwiches. You can also dry the bread out completely by leaving uncovered on a plate on your counter and use it as crumbs for a meatloaf. Also, cut them in squares before drying and then let them sit out on the plate. Drizzle with butter and add garlic and parmesan and make some homemade croutons! (And then bake until hardened.) There are some tips we use to help cut the cost of store bought foods. Hope it helps a little!

If you have any waste vegetables or meats you can make good soups with them. Or you can mix them in 1 or 2 eggs and try to make some delicious omlets

Some cheap things I like to fix are beans and rice, lentil stew, veggie stir fry (made with $1 frozen vegetables and rice), and pasta and canned tomato/sauce.

we make that all the time its yummy....if your loking for easy cheap recipes try the hillbilly housewife site...ive found alot of great recipes on it...and alot of useful tips
