Kristy Shreve Powers offers some great thrifty tips for meals on her Busy Mama’s Guides blog.
Her first great featured link is Hillbilly Housewife. If you’re down to your last $45, it’s a great site for squeezing every penny out of your food budget. One word of caution – Hillbilly Housewife assumes that you’re a SAHM or SAHD that can watch over a pot of beans boiling on the stove all day. I don’t know about you, but as a WAHM, I’m too busy to stay in the kitchen that long.
Check out her Busy Mama’s Guide to Spruced Up Salads which should give you lots of great ideas for combining a big bowl of greens with a little of this and that left over in your fridge.
Finally, read her post Busy Mama’s Guide to Cheap & Easy Recipes Transformed to think about making your everyday meal into something healthy and nutritious. Mmmmm veggie mac and cheese…
