What’s Your Typical Budget for a Weekday Dinner?

If it's a weekend, always see to it, that we have something special. Yes, it often does pinch on our budget.

Well, I don’t really know. If I were to guess, nowadays with inflation, my average weeknight meal comes out to be about five dollars. It’s usually a protein (whatever is the cheapest), and a vegetable. The meat is what makes it more expensive, of course. Dessert is an apple or orange sprinkled with cinnamon.

I don't have a budget for meals, but I would be better off if I did.

I can usually put a full meal together for around $3 depending on what it is. But I am also very budget conscious, and I like to think, rather creative. It shouldn't cost a lot to put together a great meal.
