Frugal Recipes

Welcome to Mom's Frugal Recipes Pages. You will find tasty recipes, meal planning tips and tips for frugal grocery shopping.

Frugal Recipes 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 best frugal recipes are those that meet these criteria.


The tips, tools, menus, ideas, suggestions and guidelines on Mom's recipe pages will help you save money on food - while still cooking up meals that your whole family will love.

I know it's not always easy planning tasty meals on a budget, but living on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese is NOT an option either. Our recipes are easy to prepare, easy on the budget and so tasty that children usually love them.

Taking a little time to do some frugal meal planning will equip you to have the items on hand for lots of frugal meals. And remember to plan your meals around the items that are on SALE each week, it's easy to do! Save on all of your groceries.

Some Frugal Recipe Ideas:



Potatoes are the basis for many low cost, yet very nutritious, recipes. With that in mind, I created a website just to feature them. You will find basic potato recipes like baked and mashed potatoes, potato casserole recipes, recipes for potato soups, potato salad and even potato bread and lefse.
