When Your Heart is Bigger Than Your Wallet - Budget-Friendly Meals for Taking

MAY 12, 2016  /  ADINA BAILEY  / 

If your grocery budget is a weekly consideration, you are not alone. Preparing meals for a week is a costly endeavor, and if your heart is telling you that a friend could use a meal too, that kindness is an additional expense.

Thankfully, there are many delicious meals that won't break the bank. Recently, I was introduced to Budget Bytes. The recipes on the site are incredibly easy, economical, and good for you. Many of the recipes are great for taking to friends and cost under $2 per serving (or even less).

Here are two of my favorites that would delight a friend while being easy on your wallet - so you can take more meals when needed!

Just over $1 per serving, you can cook it all in one pot with only 10 minutes of prep time...

Italian Wonderpot

At under $2 per serving, this dish will be a hit with adults and kids alike...

Skillet Cheeseburger Pasta

We would love to be introduced to more budget-friendly meals. Please let us know your favorites!
