These recipes are designed to be both healthy and affordable, using simple ingredients and cost-effective cooking methods. They’re perfect for busy weeknights and ensure everyone gets a balanced meal without emptying your wallet. We’ve included tips for substituting ingredients to save money without sacrificing taste. For example, using beans instead of meat in chili can significantly reduce costs while maintaining the hearty flavor. Bulk cooking is another great way to save money.
