Last night we had potato soup and a cheezy drop biscuit. It was easy and took almost no time, Potato soup is full of veggies and satisfying and adding a drop cheese biscuit was fast and added some protein.
Quick dinners keep us on track and eating scratch on a budget. The hardest part of the soup is peeling carrots and potatoes and citing them up. Three minutes in the insta pot with three cups of a broth and you are almost done. I added a three ingredient drop biscuits made with bisquick and dinner was done . Cost on the soup is about a dollar and the biscuits were probably less.
Having some dinners that are super inexpensive means that you can afford some more expensive dinners and still keep an average.
Pizza is another meal that everyone likes and can cost as little as a dollar. It’s not what you buy as much as it is when and where you buy it. Pizza crust ( food processor pizza crust from the food channel ) costs .19. Add 1/5 of a jar of pizza sauce from the dollar tree (name brand ) and cheese that you purchase for 2-2.50 a pound and you have a cheese pizza. Add some pepperoni, sausage, ham, vegetables, and you have a pizza.
When I cut up peppers for fajitas, I cut the bottom and top off the pepper, chop them and put them in the freezer for pizza. Having a freezer door shelf for pizza is a fin thing, anything that can go on a pizza that you can save from another meal is a good thing. Freeze the Pizza sauce in an ice cube tray and pop the cubes out into a zip lock.
The last pizza we had I used ham cubes from the freezer, she leftover sausage that we got for free and I used for breakfast burritos, and some peppers.
Waste not, want not, just takes a few minutes and can save a lot.
