14 Meals for $100
$100 Canadian plus 14 meals equal approximately $7 a meal. As a family of 6, it comes to $1.20 per person, all this work was done in about 2 – 3 hours while my toddlers napped. Curious as to what recipes I chose? Continue reading

25 freezer meals – stress free prepping
Ever wonder how I load up my freezer with over 20 meals stress-free???? Maybe not 100% stress-free, but it’s definitely not the typical way you see all over Pinterest and other food bloggers. What do I do that is different?? Honestly, not much, just a little bit more planning and patience.

95 family dinner meal ideas
The most asked question in this household. Every day, after school, both my 6 & 8-year-olds ask me this question. It drives me bonkers because if I answer, they will most likely say “oh gross, I don’t like so and so”.

$150/Week Food Budget Canada (March)
Welcome back! It's that time again where I share my weekly meal plans for the month. Back in December & January, I was using many different cookbooks for inspiration or ideas, but this past month I reverted back to my old ways of using Pinterest. You got to do what you go to.

It was a lot of hockey for this mama and I know in the future it will only get worse.....I...
Frugal Chili – 1 recipe, 3 meals for a family of 6
Today, I am sharing a chili recipe I make over and over. It’s simple, it’s frugal and I can make it stretch a long way. 2 lbs of ground beef are eaten quickly in this house and it’s the most expensive ingredient in this recipe. I use it all and split this recipe into 3. Instead of eating it three times the same way, I try to change it up and eat it with different carbs.

How To Save On Groceries – Quick Tips
Back in November, I wrote the blog post 15 Tips To Save Money On Groceries and to this day, I still follow those tips. However, I have a few more quick tips (some are in the blog post, but I provide examples and I did give a couple of new ones). I was inspired to talk about it versus write about it as talking allows me to go more rogue and speak freely, plus it's fun to mix it up. Go and check out the quick video to see what I have to say on how to save on groceries, even as...
