Top 10 Recipes Under One Dollar per Serving
3. Spaghetti all’Amatriciana ($0.68/serving)
Spaghetti with bacon, tomatoes, and chili pepper.
Spaghetti is a pretty standard go-to meal. It’s cheap and easy, and everybody has a sauce recipe in their back pocket. This variant is definitely worth trying. It’s spicy and incorporates bacon or pancetta for a nice, smoky finish. This pasta dish is definitely different and your family will love the change up from your standard tomato sauce.
2. Sloppy Joe ($0.98/serving)
Fun, messy, delicious!
If you’re looking for something simple and easy, Sloppy Joes are always fun for kids and adults alike. This recipe only takes about a half hour to make too, so you can economise your time — which we all know nobody has enough of these days. It’s a great meal for any occasion and would pair well with the Italian Russian Salad or many of our other recipes under one dollar!
1. Classic Roast Turkey ($0.94/serving)
A whole turkey means a whole lot of meat!
Believe it or not, large roasts are a great value. Bulk cooking almost always saves on the groceries in the long term. This roast can serve as one meal if you’re hosting company, but if not, this one bird can serve you in tons of turkey or chicken based dishes. Stew with the dark meat, use the bones for a delicious broth, use the meat in sandwiches, salads, and soups, the possibilities are really endless. A whole turkey yields an impressive amount of meat. The same is true of roast chickens and most large beef and lamb roasts.

Thank you for info on cheap meals. I am on a fixed income and lately I’ve been forced to go without at times.
I’m always looking for ways to eat better for less. I will definitely put the recipes and info to good use.
Times are tough ✌🏼
