    You are just what I've been looking for. Other than spaghetti, I've never been able to cook. With changes in my family, I am having to learn how to plan meals as well as how to prepare them. I've wanted to give them a variety and you are helping men to do that. Thank you so much. Congratulations on the new to come addition.

    My favorite $5 dinners are any type of “oven baked” sandwich! Ham & cheese, meatball subs, pepperoni & cheese, philly style (deli roast beef onions/peppers), ruebens. Sometimes I splurge and use more expensive rolls or buns, but these types of sandwiches even taste yummy on the cheapie hamburger or hot dog buns. Add a veggie or salad and chips. Done! Deli meat freezes so well, so I buy on sale.

    I love these videos! Much appreciation from a single mom on a budget. Keep ‘em coming, please! ☺️ Cheap dinners that we like: breakfast for dinner, rice and beans, tostadas, grilled cheese and soup, meatless burrito bowls, pasta, homemade pizza.

    All are very good. My sister uses turkey for meatballs instead of beef or pork. And she’s by no means on a budget!

    Baked sweet potato with butter or olive oil and Parmesan cheese is delicious.

    Also good: salmon patties. Used canned salmon, egg, seasoned bread crumbs and onion. Tuna patties are also very good.

    I'm definitely making the Sausage Casserole & the Avocado bowl. You make such simple meals that anyone can make. It's like "why didn't I think of that". Most folks already have most of the ingredients in their pantries.

    Lol, I only buy turkey bacon as a treat occasionally because it’s at least double the price of regular bacon where I live. Thanks for the great ideas.

    Good ole southern classic. Beans, cornbread, with fried potatoes. Sauerkraut and hot dogs or use smoked sausage. I've also made polish sausage or smoked sausage cooked with canned corn. Serve with some Mac n cheese.
