Frugal Recipes

Welcome to Mom's Frugal Recipes Pages. You will find tasty recipes, meal planning tips and tips for frugal grocery shopping. Some of the challenges for choosing inexpensive recipes for our family meals include:

We want to eat more healthy foods on a smaller food budget.

We want meals that are cheap, tasty, and easy to prepare.

The Dining On A Dime E-book is a great resource for frugal meal planning and frugal grocery shopping.

The best frugal recipes are those that meet these criteria.

We offer a wide range of tips, tools, menus, ideas, suggestions, guidelines, and much more to help you save money on food - while still cooking up meals that your whole family will love.

Please feel free to leave comments about the site, suggestions, comments about the recipes, or share recipes, budget ideas, and any feedback you might have.

I know it's not always easy planning nice meals on a budget, but living on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese is NOT an option either. That's why I've been sharing my own frugal recipes with our readers since our beginning in 2001, along with our readers' favorite frugal recipes!

Our recipes are easy to prepare, easy on the budget and so tasty that children usually give them a thumbs up. I'm not promising that your kids will love every single recipe, but there is hope!
Though most of the recipes that were originally featured at BetterBudgeting.com are straight from my own kitchen, we also accept submissions from our readers. I'm sure there are a lot of great frugal cooks out there, maybe that's even YOU!

If you have a tasty, frugal, kid-friendly recipe to share with us, we'd love to hear from you! If selected, your recipe will be featured in an upcoming issue of Living a Better Life, our free monthly ezine, and on our Frugal Family Recipes... What's for Dinner Blog!

Taking a little time to plan out your meals each week (before you head for the grocery store) will help you save time and money! And remember to plan your meals around the items that are on SALE each week, it's easy to do!!!
