4 Tasty Frugal Recipes Under $1.50 Per Serving

March 20, 2013 by RecipeLion

It may not seem like it, but it is better for both your wallet and your waistline to eat a homemade dinner rather than going out to eat. Eating fast food seems tempting, but you should avoid the temptation at all costs. A five dollar hamburger meal may seem like a wonderful and cheap solution, but it is not— especially when you consider that you can make a delicious meal at home for only $1.50. Spending five dollars on a meal will actually cost you more than THREE TIMES the amount of money as these home cooked meals. We have tasty, frugal recipes that taste incredible and don’t hurt your bottom line. RecipeLion.com has 12 Tasty Frugal Recipes Under $1.50 Per Serving and we are going to give you a sample of some of those recipes.

 

Garlic Cheese Biscuits- $.37 per serving
