Please your palate as well as your wallet!

Delicious dinners have never been so easy—or so inexpensive—to prepare. When both time and money are tight, it's tempting to buy cheap, processed foods, but it's not necessary. You can cook well with inexpensive cuts of meat, in-season vegetables that will fill you up, and a variety of side dishes to make based on what's on sale that week, or what's in your fridge. The fast and flexible recipes (you can swap ingredients if something is on sale) include:

Butternut Squash Chicken Pan Roast

BBQ-Beef Stuffed Potatoes

Tuna Hash Brown Casserole

Bacon and Chives Frittata

Slow Cooker Pork and Beans

No matter your budget, the recipes, shopping lists, and tricks to stretch pricey ingredients are invaluable.
