Shopping is the key to cheap dinners. Buy everything on sale. Buy fruits and veggies when they are $1 or less per pound. If the fruit or vegetable you plan to use is very expensive, consider using something that is on sale and in season instead. Choose meat that you can get on sale for $1.99 or less per pound.

Keep the recipes and dinners simple and everyone will be happy! Many moms try to imagine extravagant meals, but most families prefer the same simple meals they love rather than expensive and unusual foods, so be kind to yourself and keep it simple!

    Thanks for the great ideas. They also look pretty quick. There is always something happening, so we learn to rock and roll with the market — If tomatoes are expensive (in winter), we eat oranges. There is always frozen spinich to add Vit A to any and every thing.
