		<description><![CDATA[Home Made Chili &#8211; $10 Dinner For A Crowd Are you looking for a great dinner idea that will feed and satisfy your family, plus probably provide leftovers. Try home made chili. It is much easier to make than you think it is, and it will probably be one cheap meal your family will talk about the next day! I really love this recipe because it is another example of a flexible recipe. You can add some things or leave them out, depending upon what you have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry!. It can be delicious either way! 1 LB Ground Meat &#8211; You can use ground beef, turkey, etc. &#8211; This is where the price difference really checks in. Ground turkey may be cheaper, but you may find lean ground beef on sale for a good price. Frugal Cook TIp: I find that higher fat ground meat seldom provides a real bargain since so much cooks out. This could cost $3.50 &#8211; $6.00 depending on what you shop for. Vegans? The veggie ground meat substitute works too. All of the rich flavors make this a good candidate for meat substitutes. 1 Can Stewed Tomatoes in Sauce -  Buy [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Meat and Potatoes For Less Than $10 Many people think that cheap menus mean they have to give up the basics, but your grandma probably knew that brisket made a great family dinner without ruining the budget. This versatile and affordable cut of meat gets cooked in BBQ grills, ovens, slow cookers, and even on the stove (sliced thin) all the time. You usually need to allocate a few hours of cooking time, but most of the time your cooking appliance does most of the work so you can attend to other things while its cooking. I often find brisket on sale for less than $2 a pound. Sometimes if you purchase it with most of the fat trimmed, it may cost a bit more. You can always trim the fat yourself, either before or after cooking. Sometimes brisket gets a bad rap as a high fat or unhealthy food. You can choose a method of preparation that really reduces this issue. Trim most of the fat off, let the fat drip off while cooking, etc. Here is an easy oven baked brisket recipe to try. I usually try to find a 3 pound brisket because it is easy to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tuna Melts (American Panini) &#8211; Another $5 Dinner Idea! I thought I&#8217;d add to the $5 dinner for 4 ideas. The criteria for these meals is that they should feed 4 people for about five bucks, they should be healthy, and they should be tasty for most of the diners at your table. There is, of course, no pleasing everybody! You need: 1 12 oz can of tuna (Drain the liquid well) &#8211; $1.69 o sale 2 Tablespoons Mayo &#8211; You can use regular or low fat &#8211; .15 2 Hard Boiled Eggs &#8211; (Chopped Up) &#8211; ..50 Pickle Relish, Dash of Mustard, Italian seasoning, a handful of chopped onions, etc. to taste (Family tastes vary). The price will vary depending upon what you use. But we will add .50. 8 slices of bread &#8211; We like to use a high fiber variety, but when the kids were younger we had to use enriched white. Again, bread prices vary a lot. But we will estimate that budget conscious shoppers can come up with 8 slices of bread for $1.00. Cooking Oil &#8211; This can be cooking spray (the butter flavored kind works well, butter, margarine, or even olive oil) &#8211; [...]

		<description><![CDATA[How To Make A Cheap Steak Cut Tender and Tasty! Even when we are struggling financially, it is great to celebrate with a good steak (unless you are a vegetarian). We know some great cooks with marinade recipes to make cheaper cuts of steak tender to cut and chew, and they also add a great taste! You Need an Acid and an Emulsifier A good marinade should enhance the meat&#8217;s natural flavor while making the meat more tender. Every good marinade needs an acid to break down connective tissue and tendorizer. It also needs an emulsifier which carries the marinade deeper into the meat so all of the action is not on the surface. Coca Cola, citrus juice, vinegar, beer or wine are examples of popular acids that you may already have around the house. Emulsifiers are oils, like sesame oil (Asian flavor), canola oil, and olive oil. Some people say that acids do not really work, but I think that is because they do not also add the oil to their marinade. Be sure and let the meat soak in your mixture for 6 hours in order for it to work. One of my favorite cheap steak marinades &#8211; [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Do you need a recipe that is simple, cheap, and still tastes great? Here is my quick Italian Baked Casserole which should cost less than $10 to make and will feed 8 people. Of course, it will also feed 4 people and provide you with leftovers you can freeze to reheat on another busy day! You need: 2 lbs ground meat (i.e. hamburger, ground turkey, etc.) , 1/2 cup of macaroni or similar pasta (I like the high fiber kind), 1 26oz can of spaghettis sauce (any flavor you like), chopped up onions, green peppers or other veggies to taste, additional herbs to taste (i.e. rosemary, Italian season mix). I like to brown and crumble the meat to reduce the fat content, but sometimes I just do that as part of the defrosting process if the meat is frozen. I have used hamburger or ground turkey, or sometimes I use 1 pound of each. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. That&#8217;s it. I like to coat the bototm of a casserole dish with a bit of cooking spray to make clean up easier, but you don&#8217;t need to do it. Then spread the uncooked macaroni on the bottom of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Bread Is Expensive So Use it Stale Too! Bread, along with all groceries, has gotten a lot more expensive lately. If your family runs through a loaf of bread as fast as my family does, this can really strain the budget. Of course, sometimes one loaf of bread gets eaten and another goes stale. One of my favorite blogs, Cheapskate Living , has posted an article on the uses of stale bread, including a great recipe for bread pudding. The bread pudding recipe looks yummy, and I doubt anybody&#8217;s family will turn up the nose at it. They will never realize it was made from stale bread. Make sure you check out the article because it also includes some other great uses for stale bread that you may not have thought of. frugal, cheapskate Technorati Tags: frugal, cheapskateNo related posts.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, in this distressed economy, it is probably no surprise that sales of SPAM, at least, are surging. People are trying to trim their budget any way they can, and if they have to resort to including a few cans of the classic canned meat in the pantry, then that&#8217;s what they do. SPAM is produced by Hormel Foods Corp., and they have reported increased sales of the pork product, even though the cost of a can has risen too. Right now, a 12 oz can, is about $2.62, up about 7 percent from last year. Well, personally, I&#8217;d rather eat beans or tuna for about the same price or less when I need a cheap source of protein. And a dozen eggs would feed more people for less money too. But some people like SPAM. I even found a page with SPAM HAIKUS.  And yes, some people have taken a break from canned meat poetry to come up with some innovative ways to use the traditional canned meat product. If you are interesting on making a silk purse out of a sow&#8217;s ear (LITERALLY!), then check out these SPAM RECIPES. Otherwise, if you have to get your protein from [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Cheap Fish Recipe with Tuna We are all told to eat more fish, but sometimes that seafood counter has some pretty expensive prices. In order to be healthy, and get our share of fish, we need to turn to good old canned tuna and salmon. But tuna with mayo gets old after awhile. So let&#8217;s dress it up with a great recipe for tuna cakes. These are very similar to crab cakes, but cheap and easy to make! By the way, a good way to handle your grocery budget in a frugal way, is to look for tuna and salmon on sale. We found this recipe on CheapSkateLiving.org &#8212; Tuna Croquettes Recipe So just visit that page, because we don&#8217;t see the need to waste time and repost it here. frugal, food, groceries, money, cheap Technorati Tags: frugal, food, groceries, money, cheapNo related posts.

		<description><![CDATA[Make Cheap and Easy Tacos and Tortillas Most taco recipes do not include the tortillas. But I learned this from one of the most frugal cooks I ever met, and in my humble opinion, nothing tastes better then fresh tortilla right out of the pan. Compare fresh tortillas to packaged tortillas. Its like the difference between fresh bread and day old bread! And of course, it is much cheaper to make tortillas then it is to purchase them. On the other hand, time is money, and if you are pressed for time, don&#8217;t feel guilty about buying a package of tortillas either. Note: I added another cheap recipe for bisquick tortillas to the end of this post. The recipe here is for 12 tacos, so this may be two meals. If that is too much for your family, you can freeze the rest in a a freezer bag or use them for lunches the next day. Wheat Tortillas You Need: 4 Cups Flour, 2 tsp. salt, 4 tsp baking powder, 2 tbl oil, approx. 1 1/2 cup warm water. Stir all the dry ingredients together. Then knead in the oil and add the water until you have a soft, but [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Eat Cheap and Healthy with Our Frugal Spaghetti Recipe Everybody likes spaghetti, and its one of these best ways to feed a crowd. Or, if you don&#8217;t have a crowd, hold back some of the sauce to freeze in a convenient freezer bag, and then just make fresh pasta when you want to serve it. Spaghetti has a bad rap with dieters, but when you make it yourself, it ban be of the healthiest complete meals. Yes, spaghetti can be diet food! I like to buy the high fiber pasta. This costs a bit more, but Frugal Pigs will Spend Money On Quality! Now, this recipe is great, and it tastes like you&#8217;ve been cooking for days. But here&#8217;s how to make a generous serving for 8 people. If you need more, just get a bigger pan and multiply! Ingredients: 1 Lb. ground beef or turkey (We spend more on lower fat cuts of beef.) , 1 package turkey sausage cut up into 1/2 inch slices, 1 8 oz. can of tomato pieces, 1 4 oz. can of tomato paste, dried italian spices, pinch of garlic (fresh or dried), dried onion or 1/4 cup diced fresh onion. Brown the ground [...]
