Hamburger Soup

Soup is always a good way to stretch your grocery dollar and use up vegetables that might be going bad soon hanging out in the crisper drawer.

You can enjoy soup often in the winter and at a price that like you can really feed your family well on very little.

Add in a batch of homemade biscuits and a serving of fruit to round out the meal.

Hamburger Macaroni Skillet

This is another skillet dinner that’s quick to make and can be made ahead for the freezer too. A can of tomato sauce, a little ground beef, macaroni noodles, and seasonings is all it takes to make this inexpensive but filling frugal dinner.

Use mini lasagna noodles instead of macaroni to make it more like a skillet lasagna dish too. Serve with a salad and homemade french bread to complete the meal.
