I enjoyed your meals for $50 groceries part 2!! I made every dish although I didn’t use tofu I used kielbasa sausage instead. The groceries were very close to $50 which was surprising. Each meal was delicious yet simple!! Thank you!!
I loved this recipe collection! Everything was delicious and I loved reusing ingredients to save money and reduce food waste! If you do more of these, I’ll 100% follow along.
I have the hardest time grocery shopping and not spending $100 or more for one person. I am not a tofu person so I substitute it out but this helps me eat balanced meals. These grocery list are so helpful and saving me money! Thank you so much and please keep this going.
I’m so glad it’s helpful, thank you so much Jalen!
These look amazing, affordable and simple to make. Looking for vegetarian on a budget 🙂 Thank you
