Default Re: I need cheap meal ideas

I buy packages of pasta for 66 cents, throw together sauce from a can of tomato paste for 33 cents, and add in whatever leftover vegies are in the fridge...good way to use up little bits of cheese, too. This will feed my family of 5 with lunch leftovers for the next day and everyone loves it.

Another favourite is fried rice. I pre-cook the rice, put it in the fridge to get cold (sticks less when frying) and then add all the little leftover bits from the fridge and fry it up together. At the last minute, I stir in 2 eggs and some soy or teriyaki sauce. Yum!

I really like to use up leftovers rather than throw them out!
