Budget Friendly

 

Budget friendly recipes are some of my favorite recipes to me. I’m always trying to find ways to save money and be a budget friendly person. Trying new recipes is also a big part of my lifestyle!

Many years ago, we started a debt free journey and one of the places I felt like we could save the most money was on our food budget. So, that’s when I started making budget friendly recipes from scratch. I was super intimidated at first because I thought it would be too hard. Then, I realized that recipes are pretty simple and you don’t need to follow the recipe exactly. There are tips and tricks for how make your favorite recipes more affordable.

These budget friendly recipes cover everything from breakfast, dinner, dessert and everything else in between. No matter if you family prefers casseroles, slow cookers, or even Instant Pot recipes you will find something here to help your family out.

These budget friendly recipes can give you ideas for making delicious meals for your family for years to come. Kid friendly meals are important in my household since I have a picky eater.

All of these recipes are recipes that I feed my family on a regular basis and are picky daughter approved. The recipes are for family friendly meals that fit into a budget.

If you make these tasty recipes I hope that you will tag me on social media so I can see what you are making for your family.
