c/budget-friendly-meals

Serious question, frozen veggies are trash for saving money, right?

They go bad faster than fresh in my fridge and taste like nothing. I'd rather buy seasonal produce on clearance.

Dried beans never softened for me, so I'm done with that budget tip

I followed all the steps to cook dried beans to save money. They stayed hard and ruined my planned stew for the week. Has anyone else found that canned beans are more reliable for tight budgets?

Unpopular opinion: Our cheap lunch routine is making work feel empty...

My crew used to share a big pot of soup or order in together... now it's all solo microwave meals to save bucks. Half the guys say it's smart, keeps more cash in our pockets... but the other half miss the easy talk and team vibe. I get the budget part, my grocery bill is down... but the silence during breaks is kinda sad. What do you think, should we sacrifice a little money for that connection?

My sister and I figured out how to feed our whole family for under $20

It started as a challenge, but now it's our favorite way to cook together. We laugh a lot and save money too.

Why does nobody talk about batch cooking lentils?

I cooked a big pot of lentils on Sunday and ate them all week in different dishes. It saved me a lot of money.

PSA: My bulk bean salad mix-up at a backyard BBQ

I made a huge batch of three-bean salad because it's cheap and feeds a crowd, but I totally forgot to label it. People thought it was a fancy side dish and kept asking for the recipe, which was kinda funny. I mean, it's just canned beans, vinegar, and onion from the discount bin. Idk, maybe it's just me but now I always bring it to potlucks to save cash.
