Groceries are expensive. I check the prices every week for the blog, and it can be depressing.

It is easy to eat well when you have an unlimited budget. You can just buy steak and fancy organic vegetables.

But the real skill? The real skill is making a delicious meal when you are broke.

I remember when I was starting out, I practically lived on eggs and rice. It wasn’t fancy, but it kept me full and kept my wallet full too.

We need your recipes.

I want to build a list of “Inflation Busters.” Meals that are cheap, easy, and actually taste good.

Share your secret:

1. The Dish: What is it called? (e.g., “Poor Man’s Pasta”)

2. The Cost: Can you make it for under $5 or $10?

3. The trick: What makes it taste good? (Lots of garlic? Hot sauce?)

Help us eat better for less.
