5 Meals for $5
How to Feed 5 People 5 Meals for $5.00 - $8.00 or Less!
You Don't Need to Be Wealthy To Eat Healthy

Food is the second highest expenditure in most peoples lives, yet they don't pay attention to it. Pay yourself by using the information inside of 5 Meals for $5. This cook book is not only filled with delicious and plentiful recipes, it is filled with the information on how you can get the same prices and even lower prices than the recipes listed inside this book.

Jaci Rae gives you step-by-step instructions on how to combine coupons and where to get the best deals (make sure to utilize the free grocery store checker on pennymeals.com She also tells you which stores have double and triple coupon days and when those days occur as well as when the fresh produce, meat and dairy is delivered at each store.

In addition, Jaci Rae tells you (in the articles section of this website) how you can get paid to go to the grocery store with free gas and free groceries. No tricks, no scams, Jaci has done this herself.

Go to the "Because seeing is believing page" to see just one of the many paychecks Jaci has received from Mystery Shopping and Quality Assurance (simply filling out a report and getting paid for gas and food).

But if you don't want to go that route, Jaci teaches you how to obtain the prices in the book for each recipe inside 5 Meals for $5. The book also has a prices and measures chart, how to have a free date night, with a lists of hundreds of ideas, as well as a measurement conversion chart and a lot more on top of the hundreds of delicious and healthy recipes listed.

You don't need to live on Spam with the delicious recipes Jaci has inside her book. See the Free Recipe Box for a few of the recipes Jaci lists inside 5 Meals for $5.

If that weren't enough, Jaci Rae has also given you gives you a step-by-step process on how to get out of debt with "The Plan."

She devoted an entire chapter to free and fun things to do for date night and listed when stores across the US receive fresh goods as their sale dates plus a lot more! (Check the table of contents on the left sidebar for more information)

You don't need to change what you eat, just the way you shop! It's not all about coupons, it's about planning so you can save a lot of money!

And if you think you might starve because of the portions, think again! Many of the recipes have fed more than nine people with leftovers.

With the recipes and the information inside 5 Meals for $5, a family of five can upwards of $5,000 or more a year (three meals a day plus snacks) if they follow Jaci Rae's menu plans and information in the book. At the end of the year, save that money, pay off a debt or go on vacation and pay yourself!

If you're single, freeze the leftovers and save or cut down the recipes and eat a fresh meal every day! Go buddy shopping if you're single (something Jaci Rae will teach you here).

August 9, 2008: I know you want to save money, but there are those constant budget busters that steal your money and leave you constantly crying for cash. Here are a few simple ideas to help you save money and leave behind budget busters. Think about switching deodorants.

Believe it or not, the less costly no-name brand deodorants are often just as effective as your name brand type. I am a picky eater, but I also realize that there are some combinations of food that I will never taste the difference. If you give me a tomato sauce made with my favorite, more expensive tomato and then one with a less expensive mealy tomato, I will probably taste the difference.

However, if you are mixing yogurt in your favorite smoothies or butter that is on sale versus your less expensive brand into a cooked item, you most likely will never taste the difference. The same goes for pasta and many other food items that you eat. If you aren't going to taste the difference, but only know the difference in your head, why not switch? Buy stamps at Costco or Sam's Club.

Believe it or not, they can give you a better deal than the Post Office. Why pay more for “printer” paper for school, when regular, inexpensive by comparision, white copy paper works just as well. For great bargains I suggest Realiable. Their phone number is: 800-735-4000. One last easy tip.

While it may seem very obvious because the high cost of gas has become prohibitive, it still behooves you for me to say it, ditch the high grade and get into low grade gas. Always consult with a mechanic who is not biased to your vehicles manufacturer before you do this, but I have always run my vehicles, even when they said “high octane only” gas on low grade gas.

I have never had a problem and in fact, most mechanics who do my tune-ups think the car is brand new. If you change your oil every three thousand to six thousand miles and get regular tune-ups, you will be okay. My mom agrees and she's been driving my entire life! There are many more strategies to use, but this will get you started!

August 7, 2008: Today I went into Nob Hill / Raley's and found my favorite bread on sale! It's never been on sale in all the years I have been buying it! Miltons Wheat Bread was on sale for $2.50 a loaf! Oh Yes!

Also, I found that Horizon Organic Milk was on sale for $2.85 a gallon, peaches were on sale for $0.69 lb. Organic cheese was on sale for $2.25 lbs. There were so many more sales and I didn't have time to write them down because I was going for a short stop on my way home and I wanted to check for the blog and because it was on my way home (a direct path) it was worth the stop. i stocked up on a lot of items. This is an unadvertised sale.
