   I love seeing this. I have to explain to people all the time how I fix dinner for 3 and have leftovers (I always try to prepare two leftover plates for hubby) for less than $5. And believe it or not, I am always between $4-$5 and it's so easy! Thanks for sharing!

   This is amazing…and inspiring! I never learned how to properly plan meals and prepare food economically (my mother worked when I was growing, and we either ate frozen meals or ate out and I continued that into my adult life), so your information is so helpful and appreciated! And I also love knowing about the free magazine subs!

   One of my cheapest meals is my spaghetti and meatballs; I'll use a jar of spaghetti sauce (usually one that I've gotten on sale for around $.60), a can of diced tomatoes with garlic ($.30), a 1# bag of meatballs from a sale ($2.00), a pack of spaghetti noodles (maybe $.40 on sale), and a package of garlic bread (free – $.50 on sale). So, the meal is already only about $3.80, and I feed my family of four (2 small children) twice on that meal. Our splurge is freshly shaved Parmesan, which is about $3.50 for 6 oz, and we use half of it per meal. So, each meal only costs about $3.60. We do this meal once every week or two.
