Budget Meal Recipes for May 7th - May 14th

Welcome back for another weekly install of Budget Meal Recipes! For those coming from other areas besides our Facebook page, Dave Ramsey - Budget Meal Ideas, these are great budget and time saving ideas that have been shared on the group this week. It's fun to go through and read everyone's Facebook posts from the group and see what recipes were posted. Thank you everyone for helping others save on the budget and find creative ways to create with food they already have on hand. One of these is great for a certain holiday.  I bet you can guess which one!  I laughed once I realized what it was.  Thank you also to those that posted product and printable ideas.

Product Ideas


Wise Bread has some great suggestions in their blog post 17 Cheap and Awesome Reusable Replacements for Disposable Products on how to save money by having reusable items instead of disposable products.  I really liked the Stainless Steel Drinking Straws.  My kids love straws but my littlest would go through several a day if I let him.  Personally, he'd love these as a birthday gift!

Eco-Friendly Stainless Steel
Water Bottle
Another idea Wise Bread listed is to use thermos hydration water bottle or eco-friendly stainless steel water bottles instead of disposable plastic water bottles you buy at the store.  I know our family used to use a lot of bottled water in the summer.  Now that we all go biking together, we already have a lot of water bottles at the house.  With seven of us, we could go through a case of water in a week without batting an eye.  I love the savings we are getting by not buying cases of water anymore.  Another bonus feature is I don't have to wonder which bottles belongs to which kids because we can have different colors and styles.

Recipes


So, did you figure out which holiday we have a great recipe for?  I am really tempted to try the Meat Hand next Halloween and see what my husband says.  My kids will think it is hilarious!

Printables

Everybody loves FREE, right?  DIY Home Sweet Home has a bunch of free organizing printables to help you run your household more smooothly, including freezer inventory list and pantry inventory list.  They are beautiful and all of the free printables can be organized into a Home Management binder together.

FREE Kindle eBook "Quick and Easy Recipes: 30 MINUTE MEALS: Quick Recipes You Will Love"

  FREE KINDLE eBOOK FROM AMAZON My husband will be the first to attest that I love to bake - but I don't really love to cook.  I have found in the last few months that has changed, though, and have decided that I just never learned very well. It's not that my mom didn't try, just as a teenager I didn't care to learn. After 20 years I am enjoying branching out and trying new recipes with the caveat that they don't take a ridiculous amount of time to make.  I REALLY love to read, too, so I am pretty happy today that I found this recipe book to share,  Quick and Easy Recipes: 30 MINUTE MEALS: Quick Recipes You Will Love (Quick and Easy Cooking) .  If you are wanting a free copy for yourself, here you go!  Just click on the link and add it to your cart.  As always, double check that the price still says $0.00 before purcashing.
