User blog:Asnow89/Budget Recipes for October



Save your money for the weekends and eat cheap during the week! Skip expensive nights out Sunday through Thursday nights and opt to cook at home instead. It can be hard to find interesting, gourmet meals to eat at home, but we have gathered some economical recipes to help you save money AND keep your taste buds happy.

1. Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes 

TIP: Use canned tomatoes instead of fresh for a cheaper alternative.

2. Lemon Mushroom Chicken 

TIP: Buy frozen chicken because it's cheaper and lasts longer.

3. Leek and Potato Soup 

TIP: If you don't have cream on hand, you can substitute sour cream or half and half.

4. Super Simple Sliders 

TIP: If you don't have buns, you can use loaf bread instead.

5. Warm Caesar Potato Salad 

TIP: Go vegetarian a few times a week because it's less expensive than meat most of the time.
