This month I’m participating in the Eat Well, Spend Less series with eight other bloggers. Each week we’ll be sharing tips from our own experiences to help you eat well on a budget.
On Monday, I posted my favorite frugal (and easy!) meals. If you’re looking for more inspiration, be sure to read through the ideas and recipes from the rest of the group as well. You’ll find dozens of ideas and recipes that are sure to inspire your commitment to eating well while spending less!
You’ll notice that beans is a common theme in many of the suggestions below. Katie from Kitchen Stewardship has published the ultimate go-to guide in the Everything Beans Book, including more than 100 recipes and everything you’ve ever wanted to know about beans. She’s offering Eat Well, Spend Less readers a special price of $5.95 (normally $9.95) with coupon code LESSSPEND through Friday, 4/15 at noon. Get your copy of the Everything Beans Book today!
