Answer 2

I spend between $150.00 and $200.00 for a family of four for 2 weeks. I don't buy convenience foods. You'll be amazed at the money you can save by cooking "from scratch." I bake my own bread. Plus, we eat a lot of pasta and rice-based meals. We use ground beef and skinless boneless chicken breast sparingly. A "treat" is homemade buffalo wings and brownie pudding (Better Homes and Gardens cookbook). I swear by my Betty Crocker and BHG cookbooks! They are full of economical recipes. Plus, you have to use coupons--I saved $16.85 today with coupons!

Answer 3

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup sweet onions, chopped fine
2 cups mushrooms, chopped finely
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt & pepper
12 slices square bread, crusts removed (white or whole wheat, I prefer the whole wheat)
1/3 cup butter, softened
3 slices Kraft processed cheese slices

Melt butter in a large fry pan and add the onions and mushrooms, Saute until soft.
Add Mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, egg,salt& pepper, cook for 1 minute and remove from heat.
Roll each crustless slice of bread to flatten it, butter each piece and cut each slice into 4 square pieces.
Press bread pieces, the buttered side down, into a tiny muffin tins.
Fill with mushroom mixture (about 1 1/2 tsp to each tartlet).
Cut the 3 cheese slices into 16 pieces so you will have 48 pieces and put a piece on top of each tartlet.
Bake in 350f oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Answer 4

i have been feeding a husband and 2 boys on a budget.we eat alot of beans,tuna,mac and cheese,and spaghetti.i have also learned that any cassarole works well especially if you serve canned veggies and bread and reheat leftovers and change you sides.also if your single or a couple you should be able to throw a roast in a bag(that comes with the seasoning) add potatoes,carrots,ect. and have plenty of leftovers you could shred the meat with a fork add barbeque sauce for sandwiches,or shredded meat,cheese,ect. on a tortilla. any way to use leftovers has been a blessing in this house!

Answer 5

$ 150.00 is enough money to feed 4 people very nutritious meals.
First I would look at all the adds your local stores distribute.
Then I would buy the stuff on sale.
Your money will go further if you use fresh local produce on sale.
Make a meal plan before you go shopping...it's very important on a tight budget.
You will have about $9.00 per day.
Good luck..

Answer 6

Orzo and zuchinni dish. I really like it! Buy some orzo (rice-like pasta) look for it in the pasta section. Buy sone zuchinni, chop it up, and fry it in a pan with some butter. Cook until soft. Drain the pasta, and put it in the pan with more butter, until butter melts fully. Take off heat and serve!!

Answer 9

Well Liana, is this for just you? I only spend $30.00 a week on myself. I would buy one or two whole chickens and bake them. You can eat for dinner one or two nights, make sandwiches for lunch with leftovers, and chicken salad with mayo. and celery and seas. for sandwiches. Make baked potatos with them and a salad. Buy a big bag of salad, cucumbers, tomatoes and what ever fresh veggies you like (jicama is great!) and make salad. I also buy some beans, pinto usually and cook a big pot on the stove. You can make burritos, tostadas, or just a bowl of beans with cheese and onions on them, delicious! Then get a pound of hamburger and fry it up in a pan, add to beans after you are tired of them plain, with a can of tomato sauce and a can of tomatoes, chili powder to taste and salt and pepper, you have chili!! Then the next day make some macaroni and add to the chili with cheese and you have chili mac!! I could go on forever!! I used to feed a family of 7 on $50.00. Get a bag of apples and oranges for snacks, celery and peanut butter or cream cheese on celery with seas. salt, great snack. 2 dozen eggs if you like them and bread so you can make eggs and toast or french toast for breakfast or tortillas (good for beans too!) and make breakfast burritos!!! Rice is a good staple, you can also cook white beans with a ham bone and eat with rice, (thats southern cooking there!) and of course, if you can't make homemade Italian sauce, then get a couple cans of speghetti sauce ready made with some pasta and parmesan, with a veggie or salad, of course!! Hope this helps!!
