This site has a lot of good ideas for budget recipes. https://www.budgetbytes.com
I could be out to lunch on this I’m still trying to widdle this down but we’ll see if I’m nuts lol. Btw yes Canadian money
I've been watching a lot of frugal family cooking so I'm challenging myself to make my meals for $20 for this week coming up. Sunday to next Saturday.
It's just my wife and I so obviously easier than a family of 4.
I'm starting into the week with a big pot of broccoli soup.
Pancakes for breakfast or egg and hashbrown skillets.
A roast as the meat for the week
Beef soup to follow the broccoli
Looking for some other ideas these aren't set in stone. I think I can do all of this without shopping but I have to do a cost break down to come yet.
Anyone else is welcome to see how they can do
It also depends upon what Kevin already has in his pantry, fridge, and freezer, to supplement the $20 for the week.
True and the Mrs likes them I just grew up doing the same with pancakes. Giant pancakes with almond butter and strawberry jam rolled up for lunch mmm mmm!Btw, how about adding crepes? My mom made them for us for pennies a serving when we were broke.
Just a little flour, salt, water, milk, eggs, and butter.
Fill with jam, or butter and sugar.
The first 3 sections cover 7 suppers
The fourth section cover 7 lunches
The fifth section cover 7 breakfasts
That's 3 meals 7 days where am I coming up short?
I count 21 meals.
You're short by 7 meals (or 25%) if it's 2 meals per day x 2 people x 7 days.
In keeping with the numbers, you'd end up at $26.66 for all meals.
(which is still amazing)
21 is 3x7
Yes you're counting portions or servings we don't sit down as a couple to 42 meals a week. Just add don't multiply lol.I wasn't sure if you were doing 2 or 3 meals per day.
Ok, so, it's 2 people x 3 meals per day, x 7 days.
That's 42 meals. For $20 in total. Yes?
