As a family of four with two growing teenagers keeping food in the house can seem like a task where enough will never be enough. They consume so much food for their growing bodies that often it is hard to keep up with these insatiable appetites. I keep holding out hope that it will eventually level out but as my mom tells me “it's wishful thinking” because apparently the only time their appetites chance is when they have to go off to college or out on their own and pay for their own meals. There is something to be said for the realization that money does not go as far as you think it does when you're a kid.
Like many others, we have had to find ways to cut corners and shop smarter. One such way is to get creative with dinners. Pasta can be more than just a pasta with marinara. So we dug in and did our research and came up with these five recipes that can feed a family for twenty dollars.
For those of you who are going to ask we used Walmart.com to calculate prices because I can buy everything online and just go and pick it up at the store. It really is a great time to be alive, isn't it!
So let's keep reading and take a look at these 5 recipes, shall we!
