Description

7 Cheap Dinners That Fed Me for a Full Week When Money Was Tight Thirty dollars. One grocery run. Seven dinners, one for every night of the week. I'm walking you through exactly what I bought and exactly what I made from it, from Monday's roast chicken all the way through to Sunday's egg fried rice that used up every last thing left in the kitchen. Nothing wasted. Nothing repeated. And every single dinner tasted like real food. If you want all of these written down plus 94 more meals under two dollars a plate, my cookbook is at hardtimeskitchen.shop or scan the QR code in the video.
