Looking for budget-friendly dinner ideas that are quick and easy? I’ve got you covered! These simple recipes are ready quickly and they use simple ingredients that is easy on your grocery bill!
These oven-baked tostadas cook quickly, which means you can have dinner on the table in just 15 minutes! They’re vegetarian, gluten-free, and customizable for the whole family!
Lentils are a great budget-friendly food and these simple spiced lentils are a cheap way to add lots of plant based protein to your meal!
You don’t have to restock your pantry to create this 5 Ingredient Potato Soup. Yes, it’s literally 5 ingredients. And it’s super filling!
You already know pasta is cheap, but don’t forget that it can also be a great way to use up leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. This Broccoli Lemon Pasta cooks in one pot for an easy, simple dinner! It’s perfect for using leftover broccoli!
One of my favorite rainy day meals is this vegetable minestrone soup. A perfect way to use up a few vegetables, this one-dish meal is super filling and satisfying! Sprinkled with a little cheese on top, this soup is just the right amount of fancy! (Hint: If you want to keep it vegan, leave off the cheese and you’re good to go!)

The open faced quesadilla looks so good. I am a quesadilla fanatic. I usually have them 1-2 a week,
Stir-fries are my favorite budget dinners! Pretty much use up anything you have in the fridge or freezer, throw it together with some soy and ginger, done! Saving these ideas, btw, since I’ve got to go on (even further) budget lockdown starting SOON.
I do love stir fries, although I haven’t made one in awhile! I need to get back to them!
You do, especially if you need a quick, cheap meal! I’ve even made them with spaghetti before when I haven’t had rice or rice noodles on hand, haha. Pretty ghetto, but tastes mostly the same.
cereal is my budget friendly dinner 🙂
I love posts like this where everyone is sharing their ideas. Last night we had a variation on the pasta with veggies- whole wheat penne, with sauteed garlic scapes and spinach, mixed into the pasta with three beaten eggs and some goat cheese, all cooked together for a few minutes. Some fresh basil made it even better!
And the black bean fritters! I remember when you first posted that recipe that I wanted to try them…thanks for the reminder 🙂
Actually a genius post idea! My favorite budget friendly dinner (or lunch, even) is a sweet potato, some type of green veggie, chicken or turkey, and usually coconut oil for my fat 🙂 Meat/veg/starch/fat is my staple guide for lunches and dinners!
I love sweet potatoes! In fact, I’m posting a sweet potato enchilada recipe tomorrow! Thy’re so cheap and delicious!
