Disney Family Foods has a series of recipes that are reasonably gentle to the budget. Perhaps some of these might work for you or in rotation with other frugal meals.

MarthaMFI:

not that cheap of meals.

They aren't really cheap like beans and rice are. Some of them aren't too bad though.

The lasagna for me would not even be a reasonable priced meal but others would be.

 no they are good meals just not cheap as the prices they list. couple of dollars or less for some. with meat not going to happen here.

Lasagna is definitely not cheap to make unless you skip a lot of  cheese!  personally I like my cheese.  it is not cheap here. usually the middle part is cottage cheese mixed with parmesan for more flavor instead of ricotta. I usually buy a good brand.

some maybe like $5 dollars for a person to feed three here at my house is somewhat cheap but yeah maybe be steep on some but the salids I got one up on mom she looked at it and wow she approved for the website Im learning to build for cheap meals of my link that will be done not this year early next january.
