Dinner That My Toddlers Beg For Every Thursday!
Feeding two boys on a budget means getting creative, and honestly, they’d pick my homemade cheesy veggie rice over filet mignon any day. Last week, I grabbed a 5-pound bag of rice for $3, a bag of frozen mixed veggies for $2, and a block of cheddar on sale for $3. That’s $8 for a meal that stretches into leftovers!
Instead of splurging on expensive cuts of meat, I bulk up meals with beans, lentils, or eggs. Buying in bulk and sticking to the outer aisles of the grocery store saves a surprising amount of money. I always check the clearance section for bread and produce—sometimes you find real gems for half price.
Making a big batch of something simple, like this cheesy rice, keeps the kids happy and the wallet intact. Leftovers go into thermoses for lunch the next day. It’s not fancy, but it works.
