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.

I love how you and your sister laugh while cooking. My friend Carla and her roommate tried a budget food challenge last winter. They bought a big bag of rice and beans, then got creative with spices and frozen veggies. Their big win was a huge pot of chili that fed them for three days straight. They said it was honestly kind of fun, like a puzzle. Your mileage may vary, but finding those cheap meals can really bring people together.

Totally! That reminds me of when my old roommates and I would try to cook for a big group of friends. It was never about saving money, just feeding everyone who showed up. We'd end up with this giant messy pasta situation and like three different salads. The kitchen would be a disaster zone but everyone was laughing and eating. Those were the best nights, honestly. What's the biggest crowd you've ever tried to cook for?
