Do you make shopping/ grocery list for each month’s meal plan? I have been searching your site for one for January, but I seem unable to find it. Thanks for all of your hard work.

I love this website! I am new to cooking, and have been SEARCHING for someone to help me incorporate veggies into every meal, other than warming a frozen bag up in the microwave. These are simplistic enough that I can follow and understand, are quick enough for me to make when I get home from working a full day, and give me and my boyfriend enough to eat! Plus, who would have thought I could also include my coupon hobby?!?! WOW! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for this site! Because of the way everything is going, my husband and I are on such a tight budget, I wasn’t sure I would even be able to make things for dinner in our budget. It is so hard to find things to make for a good price now a days. I have a 15 month old daughter and I wanted to be able to feed her stuff besides junk food. Thanks so much!

God Bless You

Are any of the recipes that you have listed available for viewing or do they all require you to purchase the cookbook? It’s very frustrating to click on your recipe index and pick a recipe to be told it’s exclusive to the cookbook. Feel’s like a bait and switch.

are people really cooking these recipes for less than $5.00? in the mango chicken recipe in her book, erin lists the cost of a mango as $.75? whaaat? my supermarket charges $3.99, EACH, for a mango. the recipes are good, but c’mon, they’re not $5.00 or less…….

@ Lo. I think part of the idea is that we are shopping more frugally in order to meet the $5.00 budget. In my $5.00 dinner plans there are often items that I am able to get for free. Many people buy produce and other items when they are at rock bottom prices and put them in the deep freeze in order to use it all year round for the best bang for their buck.

I agree with Cricket
If its not frugal for you, don’t make it.
For the last month or so, we have had mangos for $1.00/1. But most of the year, they are more pricey. Also, our local TJ’s has frozen mangos year round usually about $2.00 bag. No sectioning.
Its all about finding what fits your local price range…there are times when the items just aren’t at the right price for me. But this site gives me plenty of inspiration.
GREAT SITE!!!
