I remember reading a book about cutting your grocery bill in half. They said start with your pantry, freezer, and frig to plan your meals. Once you've planned as many meals as you can, then see if you can plan more meals if you have a little produce, spices, or other ingredients. Because I'm cooking for one, I know I can stretch meals a lot more. And with these recipes from Julia, I can do a lot more.

Love $5 meals. I'm a widow and I get 5-6 meals from them. I eat one and freeze the rest. Gives me variety and I can eat well and stay in budget. Blessings💕🇺🇸

I do not know how young people afford families. Everything is so expensive, thank you Julia for helping people make good meals for their families.

Thank you so much Julia. We are a family of seven and your recipes are sent from the lord. I have saved so much money following you 😊

[kathleenbrown]

Even as a single woman with no kids, groceries are expensive!!! Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes.

You should do a cookbook about $5.00 meals and all of your budget meals and maybe do more shelf stable meals. Especially for those that are sleeping on the street and for our heroic veterans ❤

Thank you Julia for taking the time to to provide us with a variety of meals with lower costs.

[claytonbrown]

Julia you knocked it out of the park again!! All those recipes look delicious. With just my wife and myself each meal will probably be 2 nights worth of dinners for us. You are a blessing!! God Bless you and your family 🙏

Lovely recipes! Has anyone else bought a whole roasted chicken every 2 or 3 weeks and taken everything off the bone, frozen up packets. The bones make great stock for soup too! For $5 i can get 8 or more meals for 1 or 2 people.

My family has been making the sausage, Mac & cheese, and broccoli mix for decades. It’s a family “delicacy” that I share with everyone that my brother named “scongie” (don’t ask, we don’t know). Scongie in my family can take on any form depending on what you have on hand - the other night I made it with ground beef and peas. A quick meal that always hits the spot. Definitely try this one!!

Easy and inexpensive. That's a win, followed by another win.

I have all the ingredients for the five meals except for the zucchini. I can cook from my pantry and save money this week. Love the recipes Julia. Thank you ❤😊.

Love the tip to cook and spray enchiladas before putting sauce on.

I love coming to this channel after hearing about how everyone is struggling these days. On one hand, it helps to know that I'm not alone in the struggle, but I like to come back to hopefulness. You give us all that hope that we can get through the week without spending an arm and a leg. So concrete and do-able.
