I know me saying this comes at no shock to anyone, but food has gotten expensive, y'all. Going to the grocery store no longer feels like a cheaper alternative to ordering food, not to mention shrinkflation hitting shelves.
And because I know this can be especially difficult for families that need to feed multiple mouths, I'm curious what you as a parent are cooking for your family that's relatively budget-friendly (but everyone still loves).
Maybe you're an expert meal-prepper and have a method for cooking a cheap protein and using it to make different meals throughout the week. A whole roast chicken can really go a long way!
You might have found that reducing your family's meat consumption has significantly helped your wallet, and now are making cheap meals like chili for even less.
Or perhaps you've got some go-to soup recipes in your back pocket for those cold or rainy days. If you're like me, you might have even relied on the "fridge clean out" soup and gotten creative with whatever vegetables and protein you have in your fridge.
