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.
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!
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.

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!
