Cooking For a Family on a Budget?  Try Our FREE Quick and Easy Frugal Recipes!  Free Printable Menu Planners, Grocery Price Log, Grocery Saving Tips and More to Help You Save Money on Groceries!

 Featured Frugal Recipes 

I know it's not always easy planning nice meals on a budget, but living on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese is NOT an option either.  That's why I've been sharing my own frugal recipes with our readers since our beginning in 2001, along with our readers' favorite frugal recipes!  

Our recipes are easy to prepare, easy on the budget and so tasty that children usually give them a thumbs up.  I'm not promising that your kids will love every single recipe, but there is hope!

Though most of the recipes that were originally featured at BetterBudgeting.com are straight from my own kitchen, we also accept submissions from our readers. I'm sure there are a lot of great frugal cooks out there, maybe that's even YOU!  

If you have a tasty, frugal, kid-friendly recipe to share with us, we'd love to hear from you!  If selected, your recipe could be featured in an upcoming issue of Living a Better Life™, our free monthly ezine, and on our Frugal Family Recipes... What's for Dinner Blog!

Look for our FREE printable Menu Planners, Grocery Price Log, Grocery List by the Aisle, Pantry List and Free Grocery Saving Tips which are available in our ezine each month!

Taking a little time to plan out your meals each week (before you head for the grocery store) will help you save time and money!  Plan your weekly meals around the items that are on SALE each week, instead of just deciding what you want to have regardless of whether the food is on sale or not.  It's easy to do and you will save a fortune throughout the year!!!  I've written hundreds of more FREE grocery saving tips on our GrocerySavingTips.com site so be sure to check those out (and our free printable grocery coupons) if you need help saving money at the grocery store! :o)
