Budget-Friendly Recipes

In 2024 I first started the budget-friendly meal series on Instagram from a need to find delicious and easy to make recipes that would help me keep costs down at the grocery store in the face of rising prices.

We are currently in the middle of season 2, where I am sharing a new recipe every Thursday. If you want to join us live and receive the full recipe + video to your email as soon as it’s published to you don’t miss a thing – you can quickly sign up here.

These budget friendly recipes all feature 3 key elements;

  1. Simple ingredients you can find at any store.
  2. Easy-to-follow instructions perfect for any skill level.
  3. Affordable with all meals costing $3 or less per serve
