Frugal Fridays is a weekly blog event dedicated to producing great food on a budget. The idea was inspired by my wife, who mentioned to me that with the cost of living and fuel prices rising steadily, people would welcome a few less expensive recipe alternatives. I had originally planned on simply doing a weekly budget friendly recipe at Cooking by the seat of my Pants (and I am, but I’m including the rest of the world in the fun!), but I then it occurred to me that other food bloggers might want to play along, and Frugal Fridays was born.
The premise behind Frugal Fridays is simple. Try to create a meal or main course that will serve a family of four and taste great in the process for $10.00 or less. Nobody is saying that you can expect a gourmet meal at that price point, but if you’re working at it, I guarantee that you can come up with something fantastic, filling and just plain tasty. Save the expensive meals for Saturday and join in on the fun for less on Fridays!
I don’t intend to keep all the fun to Fridays, either. I’m in the process of rounding up a few guest bloggers and good foodie friends of mine for articles on topics that relate to saving a dime at the grocery store while still getting the most bang for your buck. I’ll feature products that save you time and money and in the end, hopefully we’ll build a community we can be proud of.
Over the course of the next few months I’ll be adding features here as necessary to support whatever needs the community requires. For now I think that simplicity is the best option since this site is devoted to being budget friendly, and time is money, after all.
