@dollartreedinners: Dinner #2 from my $50 grocery haul 🍕 Tonight we're making French Bread Pizza with a side salad. One thing I wanted to be mindful of when putting together this meal plan was making sure dinner didn't stop at the main dish. That's why you'll see sides, toppings, sauces, and vegetables worked throughout the week whenever possible. Another budget-friendly trick in this recipe is the ranch dressing. Instead of buying milk and mayonnaise just to make the packet ranch, I mixed it with sour cream and water. The sour cream was already in the meal plan, so one ingredient gets used in multiple meals. And while you could absolutely make pizza sauce from scratch, sometimes convenience foods can actually save money when they prevent you from buying a bunch of extra ingredients. #budgetmeals #cheapmeals #familydinner #mealplanning #DinnerIdeas
