Cook These 8 Dinners When Money's Tight (Under $2 a Plate)

👉 Thirty years of running a household on a budget, written down at last: https://pearlpennywisdom.netlify.app/ Four dollars and eleven cents on the card, three days from payday, with people in the house who still expected dinner. Eight dinners, every one under two dollars a plate at the prices the government publishes every month. And with each one, the exact expensive thing it replaces. Red beans and rice at sixty cents. Sheet-pan chicken legs at a dollar twenty. Egg fried rice at fifty-five. And number eight isn't a recipe at all — it's one bird and a knife, and it hands you three dinners for the price of one.
