Food

We welcome you into our kitchen to share some of our family’s favorite food!  You’ll be sure to find thrifty meal ideas for busy families here.

Whether you’re looking to save money on food expenses or just wanting tasty dinner ideas, we’re so glad you found us!

We have been passionate about thrifty living ever since our debt-free journey began in 2013. We successfully paid off $67,631 in 16 months and we still practice most of our thrifty living habits today.

When we first started out, we found that like many families, we wasted a lot of money on food. Our first step to getting our food budget under control was creating a meal plan and sticking with it. But how? The key to following a solid weekly meal plan was to choose easy prep foods that we actually ENJOYED eating.

We’ve compiled some of our all-time favorite recipes in this place!  And we want you to bring them to your kitchen and bless your family with them as well.
