I came up with a brand new interesting recipe that it is easily made from foods that store well in the kitchen cupboard. It’s a quick and easy to prepare and best of all, it tastes great. It’s called Ramaghetti. It’s instant ramen noodles made into a spaghetti. Trust me, it tastes fabulous, it’s cheap, and it’s easy to make.
Ingredients:
Instant ramen noodles
canned corned beef
1 can of tomato sauce
First boil 6 or 7 packages of instant ramen noodles. The number of noodle packs is up to you. Make sure you don’t put in the seasoning just yet. After the noodles are finished cooking, drain off the excess water and then add the seasoning packets and mix it up. Next add in 1/2 can of corned beef and 1 can of tomato sauce. You’ll want to simmer for your Ramaghetti for a minute or two just so everything gets nice and warm and tasty.
This is very tasty and if you make it up in bulk, you can put it in a lunch for the kids. They’ll love it.

Unfortunately, it is hard to shop for healthy cheap food. In fact, it seems like healthy and cheap are polar opposites in this day and age, and guess what, it’s probably right. Everyone is interested in convenience and that means convenience foods.
It’s hard to make convenience food cheap and healthy so makers gives you a choice, healthy or cheap. Guess what? That’s the problem. If you want cheap and healthy food, you need to make the food yourself. You need to make it from scratch with the quality ingredient. It’s easy to get cheap, quality ingredients if you check out the bulk food section of your supermarket.

My boys just love to eat Mac and Cheese. It’s a cheap food to make up generally, but just the other day I found a way to make up Mac and Cheese more cheaply.
We buy elbow macaroni in bulk. It’s cheap, it stores well and it’s very versatile. I make up my cheap mac and cheese by making up the macaroni noodles and then frying up some beef. I mix the two together and put them in a bowl. At this stage, I add cheese sauce. You can use cheese whiz or whatever. The cheese goes far so the cheese portion of the recipe is in fact the cheapest.
All you need to do is serve it up. Tasty and yummy.
