Here are four super easy, super delicious budget friendly meals for less than $1.50 per person*.
These fish tacos are filled with fresh ingredients that you may already have on hand.
This meal cost me $1.49 per person.
The most expensive ingredient for this recipe was the tilapia; however, if you can find it on sale or buy a less expensive mild white fish, that would save even more money.
This recipe is a copy cat lettuce wrap from a well know chain restaurant but tastes way better because you made it.
This meal cost me $1.20 per person.
Ground chicken, at $3.99 per pound, was the most expensive ingredient; water chestnuts were $1.50 but I had everything else on hand.
This rich tortellini with Alfredo sauce and peas is sure to fill all those hungry bellies.
This meal cost me $1.12 per person
The fresh tortellini was $3.99 and the alfredo sauce was on sale for $0.99. We always have peas in the freezer.
Guess what? A baked potato can be a meal! Add some fresh toppings, you've got a great dinner that everyone will love.
This meal cost me $1.16 with bacon or $0.66 without bacon.
Potatoes were $0.43 each and the crown of broccoli was $0.94. We already had shredded cheese and butter. The most expensive item was the prepackaged bacon pieces but you could make you're own bacon or skip it.
