Frugal Recipes Index

Save money with our frugal recipes and share your favorites with us! We know it's not always easy planning nice meals on a budget, but living on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese is NOT an option either. That's why we've been sharing frugal recipes with our readers since we started BetterBudgeting in 2001. Our recipes are easy to prepare, easy on the budget, and so tasty that children usually give them a thumbs up. I'm not promising that your kids will love every single recipe, but there is hope! :o)
