Cheap and Wicked Good! 5-Ingredient Budget-Friendly Recipes for Everyday Meals (Simple and Easy Budget Meals)

Everyone needs to save money sometimes and cutting down on restaurant meals in favor of budget-friendly home cooking is an excellent way to do it. The great news is that this doesn't mean you have to settle for macaroni and cheese or packaged food.

The diverse and delicious recipes in this cookbook all contain five ingredients or less, and each meal can be prepared for ten dollars or less for a family of 4 —in some cases, much less! Nor do you have to sacrifice your health to eat economically. Everything here is far healthier than TV dinners and fast food—things you'll be happy to see your family eating and enjoying. For added convenience, many of these recipes share one or more ingredients, making it easy to shop once and have what you need to make meals throughout the week.

This new collection of inexpensive meals where each recipe has only five major ingredients!

There won’t be a whole lot of peeling and chopping, mixing, or getting out every single container in your kitchen to get a teaspoon of this or a cup of that. These recipes are simple.
