Budget Friendly Meals (Page 7)

Real meals that keep costs down without feeling like a compromise. Every recipe here works to at least one of three standards: it lands under about $3 a serving, it leans on pantry staples and cheap proteins like beans, rice, eggs, pasta and chicken thighs, or it feeds a family of four for under $15. Practical, filling, and built for weeks when the grocery budget is tight.
New here? Start with our roundup of 18 budget friendly recipes for cheap, filling dinners.
