Meals that can be made at home for cheap.

This subreddit is for cheap meal recipes to be shared and for help figuring out what to make for dinner with what you have left in the fridge.

Submissions MUST be things that can be made at home. It's called "7 dollar dinners" but as long as it's cheaper than fast food it'll be allowed.

Links are currently not allowed due to the large influx of spam. If you want to link to a video or website, write a text post and explain why the link belongs here.

It must be able to be made at home. Street food is legit but it belongs in r/streetfoodartists.

"Cheap" is subjective and recipes don't have to include a price breakdown (though it's preferred!), but let's use some common sense and don't post things that use filet mignon and caviar, m'kay?
