There’s a new trend emerging on TikTok that we can get on board with: budget dinner recipes.
Watch: Creamy pumpkin and three cheese pasta
As part of the $10 meal challenge, the TikTok community has been sharing their best budget meals and recipes for under $10, and we have to say that while they are quite thrifty, they also look very delicious.
Best budget meal ideas
Here’s a wrap up of where to find some tasty yet affordable recipe ideas on TikTok.
Sweet potato and chickpea soup
If you’re looking to save money on groceries, Jen Hanlon (aka @jennnnaaayy) has what you want. She even caters for food intolerances, such as dairy and gluten-free.
For the $10 challenge, Jen shows her followers how to make a vegetarian dinner for $9.66. Visit Jen’s TikTok account for all the ingredients and more. She also has recipes for chicken parmigiana and roast veggies with chicken Marylands.
Chorizo pasta with a garlic bread side
Emily, (@aussiedebtfreegirl) is an Aussie mum of three kids who shows you how to feed a family of four for $10. Okay, her total came to $10.05, but we can let her off because her chorizo pasta looks delicious. Another budget recipe from Emily is her chicken and vegetables with fried rice. Yum!
