Beans

Want to immediately start saving money on food? Incorporate more beans and bean-based dishes into your diet!

Beans are one of the cheapest foods out there. The cheapest option is to soak and cook your own beans, but that’s a lot of work so I typically purchase canned beans.

Where to start with these bean-based recipes? The black bean burgers and the three bean hotdish are reader favorites. For a great snack, try the roasted chickpeas or kidney beans. And for something with a lot of flavor, check out the charro beans or the Mexican ground beef skillet.

Beans are so cheap and can be so delicious – you just have to have the right recipes. Check out these recipes from Cheap Recipe Blog.
