This tried and true list of budget meals for large families is a winner! Cheap, easy dinner recipes for your next family dinner.
The cost of groceries is insane right now, especially when you’re feeding a family of eight. That makes having a good list of budget meals for large families on a shoestring grocery budget.
Not only are these meals filled with simple, affordable ingredients, but they are also easy to double, triple, or whatever -le your family needs!
For a year, I had my family try out new recipes.
These are only the winners. The recipes they loved and asked to have again.
So save these recipes to use in your Large Family Home over and over.
What if I told you that I have a pizza dough recipe that takes less time than ordering a pizza and waiting for delivery?
Oh, and it takes like 5 minutes of effort, too.
Sound too good to be true?
Well I’m here to tell you that I’ve been making this recipe for 15 years, and it is one of the few things in life that sounds good and actually IS true.
That’s right.
Oh, and it has no weird ingredients. Even in this economy, it’s a great frugal choice.
These easy make ahead breakfast ideas are perfect for busy moms (who want to save money on groceries).
Some days I wonder if my teenage boys ever eat breakfast at all.
Most of the time, they are running out the door for school, doing everything at the last minute.
In fact, I’ve noticed that the only time they for sure grab some food on their way out the door is when I’ve made something they like that’s easy to grab and go.
Say you have chicken stock sitting in the fridge right now.
You just emptied several bowls filled with science experiments (ewwww) from the back of the fridge a couple of days ago, and you’ll be darned if you’re gonna let that chicken stock meet the same fate.
So clearly, supper is going to be some kind of soup.
But what kind? You’ve served chicken five nights in a row, and the family might revolt if you do it again tonight.
You flip through recipe books, looking for something that…
a) you actually have most of the ingredients for, and…
b) the family would actually be willing to eat (or at least try).
FYI, every recipe in this list and my other recommended lists are easy, cheap meals with simple ingredients that I make for my family of 8 on a regular basis (with a couple I just discovered and will be adding to our meal plan ASAP!).
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. Learn more.
