Would you like to know my way of making affordable pizza or enchilada? Grab 2 flour tortilla, pizza sauce or salsa, cheese and toppings of your choice... Place 1 tortilla down on a microwaveable plate, layer sauce, then cheese and toppings. Place the other tortilla wrap on top. Microwave for one minute. Voila!

I found yet another quick and easy microwave potato recipe. I hope that you like it! https://food.com/recipe/easy-microwave-potatoes-204071

This recipe had me inspired from member @CSEGUIN2 ... Although she does not want orange marmalade, this recipe was affordable for me. (I hope you don't mind @CSEGUIN2 :wink: ) Personally, out of the recipe, these are the only ingredients I like. The rest of the ingredients are just not really needed. What do you think? As…

What type of meat? Ground beef? Steak? We cannot buy much meat here. Seems good though!

Hello! I found this orange chicken recipe and hope you like it! https://tasty.co/recipe/easy-orange-chicken

Make whatever coffee creamer you like with this recipe! First of all, you do not need specifically half n half. Personally, I choose skim fat free milk. Then, you do not have pure maple syrup? Neither do I. Use pancake syrup! Next, finally, is the vanilla extract. Most kitchen pantries have this. Don't want vanilla coffee…

This evening, I ordered 4 boxes of McCafe Premium Roast Coffee k-cups. Each box contains 24 count. My order came to $49.47 instead of $65.96. Woo Hoo!

Today is Tuesday! Where have you been? Today, I have felt exhausted. My new (refurbished) chromebook still has not arrived in the mail yet. I do not want to get into the middle of an article or book review and then have to stop to upload to the next. Get my drift? I ordered some McCafe k-cups earlier. I have been saving…

Today's Amish trip was fabulous! I am not telling you how much I spent, but worth every penny. We were treated to an Amish lunch at an Amish all-you-can-eat food buffet by a good friend. We were surprised by his generosity. There were 10 in our group, so you could imagine what he paid. I shopped for Christmas presents as I…

I shall research for a recipe for you soon. A fellow member of the group, his name is gralan1, just might know of a recipe for you. He used to be the team leader of the Ethnic team on Sparkpeople.com. It is good to have him here!

Thank you for the crackers and cheese tip! I was defeated tonight with my purchases. We went to Dollar Tree. I had my $5.00. I recently saw homemade coffee creamer recipes online and thought I had a good plan. The creamer called for unsweetened almond milk, coffee, artificial sweetener and vanilla extract. I bought 3…

Hello my friend! Good to have you here! Thank you for the recipe! The first thing that I thought of were Pizza Crackers. On top of each cracker, place a piece of pepperoni than a squirt of ketchup. Yes? No? Question... Could you prepare this recipe in the microwave? Thank you again!

Hello all you Eating On A Budget members! Sorry so late! Better late than never, right? This week, I am challenging myself to only spend $5.00 on food or drink that I really need. What would YOU purchase? However, I am going to Amish country on this Friday and am taking spending money to buy treats...Christmas presents…

The "Spicy Asian Ramen Noodles" recipe is cheap and delicious to prepare. I have prepared them in the past. You do not need all of the ingredients stated in this recipe. Ramen noodles, peanut butter, soy sauce and brown sugar are all that you need! All 4 may be found at the dollar store!…

What is instacart like? People talk about instacart so much but I do not understand the way they work? How far do they travel for you? How do you pay them?

Would russets work? How many minutes in the microwave? Thank you!

Woo Hoo! What type of meat? Ground beef? Steak? Thank you for the recipe!

Today we (the roommates and I) did our grocery shopping and were tired and cranky. So, we got some Jo Jos. $8.99 for 25 Jo Jos. There are 3 of we roommates, so our tummies are full.

I received this recipe in my email inbox today and just have to tell you. The recipe is called Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip. Have you ever heard about this recipe? One can grab the ingredients from the dollar store! Cream cheese, pineapple, pecans, onions (optional) and seasoning salt. I think this one is a winner.…

I have been out of cola in like forever. Today, my roommate had a spare few minutes to take me to the local grocery store. My heart was set on buying diet Mountain Dew on sale. Got there and was not on sale. So, I grabbed the diet Sunkist and diet 7 Up on sale in bottles. $12.00 total. I have since downed 2 diet Sunkist. I…

We can do it though! I may be tired of eating peanut butter, but have I looked up unique recipes that call for peanut butter? Nope. Maybe that is what I should do? My roommates buy huge peanut butter jars at Sam's Club. I would like a change, but I do not complain. I do not go to Sam's Club anymore with them as we always…

This recipe is for microwavable potato salad! Woo Hoo! Now you do not need to wait for those darn potatoes to boil forever! If you want even faster, forget about hard-boiled eggs. But, that is up to you. I absolutely love hard-boiled eggs but stink at preparing the darn hard-boiled eggs! The author of the recipe said to…

This recipe is for Crock-Pot ranch potatoes. I like as one may use up that liquid ranch dressing lurking in the fridge. The recipe calls for a half cup of salad dressing. Personally, I want my potato salad to be extremely creamy and would use about 2 cups. Then, I prefer russet potatoes. How about you? Is this recipe to…

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... A roommate (I have 2 roommates) brought home some Pizza Hut bread sticks. I ate 2 1/2. So, now I need to exercise my little butt off! Do any of you remember Erin_Posch from Sparkpeople? She introduced me to podrunner.com. The website provides free exercise music. When I pedal to the music,…

LOL I ended up preparing shrimp ramen noodles with peas. A roommate ate half. I am getting so tired of peanut butter. How was your dinner?

Today, I had a surprise bargain! The local grocery store was selling 3 crates of water (24 bottles a crate) for $10.00. I went to the cashier and gave her $10.00. She handed me a receipt and $2.50 change. I said Ma'am shouldn't this be $10.00? She said no. So, I did not argue! So, that was my bargain for the day!

Hey! How are all of you? I have not eaten dinner yet. What should I prepare? I have shrimp ramen, white rice and peanut butter to choose from. LOL I do have a couple of eggs. I could prepare egg drop soup with an egg and ramen or vegetarian fried rice with peanut butter and white rice. I have some leftover black beans in…

Hello Becca! Thank you for joining! I am married to my Crock-Pot. He cooks for me, he smells good, ... all I have to do is clean him! LOL

Thank you for the chili recipe! Good comfort food, especially during these autumn and winter months. I like to use spaghetti sauce and black beans. But both of our methods are alike. Again, thanks! As for chicken, I like but I only use boneless skinless chicken breast. You have not done anything wrong... We just have…

Also, I didn't know that dollar tree would be charging more. Uuugh.
