Cheap Eat Recipes

Here are my cheap eats recipes. They are family-friendly, filling and budget friendly meals that prove cheap dinners don’t need to be boring.

This collection of recipes is perfect for feeding a family on a budget, using simple, affordable ingredients and minimal prep. You’ll find cheap family meals that are quick to make, satisfying and designed to stretch your weekly food shop further, from one-pan dinners and mince recipes to comforting classics that everyone loves.

Pasta is also one of the best value ingredients for creating cheap, filling family meals. My pasta recipes are ideal for busy weeknights, such as Creamy Bacon Pasta or Easy Macaroni Cheese.You can browse all of my pasta recipes here.

There are also plenty of cheap meals for batch cooking and freezing such as Easy Butternut Squash Curry or my Carrot and Lentil Soup giving you maximum flavour for minimal cost.
