Quick Meal Under Five Dollars

Do you need to cook up something healthy and quick? You can! Here is one meal idea for under $5.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta: on sale $0.95 a box

Ragu Pasta Sauce: $1.67

No Salt Added Whole Kernel Corn: $0.39

Total: $3.01

Tips:

-Buy items when on sale, use coupons with the sale and save more.

-It's ok to skip out on the meat. Adding meat could mean adding another $3-$4 to the meal.

-When buying canned items, look for the "no salt added" label. Rinse canned vegetables or fruit to lower the sodium/sugar content and to wash away other added ingredients. Add your own seasonings.
