Trying to eat three meals a day while on a limited budget might be difficult. This is why, if you want to save time and money when it comes to cooking, meal planning and meal preparing are highly advised. Meal planning makes grocery shopping easier since you’ll be able to keep to your budget more efficiently because you’ll already know what products you’ll need for the week. Another good thing about meal prep is that bulk items are commonly bought, making ingredients less expensive to buy. But if you don’t want to buy in bulk, then here is a list of $10 meal prep ideas using 5 ingredients only!
