once a week

Or better yet become a vegetarian.

We do a vegetarian meal twice a week normally and feel much better for it. Less calories than meat.

We did something similar for health reasons more than financial, but the savings have been a very welcome bonus!

I love using eggs for an easy vegetarian option.

It’s great to go vegetarian once or twice a week!

We do this too! Same reaction from the males in the house! haha

And there are lots and lots of great vegetarian recipes out there.

We usually have vegetarian once a week. I also would love some recipes if you have any to share
I like to cook pumpkin soup or a vegatble soup.

Good on you! It’s also a healthy option once a week!

I use to do this when I was trying to save money, I think its healthy for the family too, might go back to this as of next fortnight.

Vegetarian food is also a good meal for the kids to cook,

Not only it saves money it also have health benefits. We have vegetarian day twice a week, it was bit hard at the beginning. But now we got used to it.

I used to be vegetarian for 8 years so my hubby and kids are quite used to me cooking up ‘non meat’ food. Definitely a great cost effective way of eating!

You are absolutely right! We eat at least 2 completely vegetarian meals a week. It makes a big difference in money and they are healthier too!

I grew up in a meat and three veg household where my dad would often become grumpy if meat was not served lol How times have changed- thankfully! Living in the city the cost of meat has jumped up considerably and although we shop around or hit the farmers markets there are still times where it’s not financially possible to have meat incorporated into one meal or another. Although I know its easier to get our daily iron from meat I can say we enjoy switching it out for a larger quantity of vegetables especially for the night meals, still just as tasty and less of a heavy feeling in the stomach.

Vegetarian meals are good and important too for a healthy diet.

wish we could do this with fussy child ;(

yes that is a really great suggestion. i might try this too. if you have any great recipe ideas i would love to see you post them on here
