Meals on a Budget

Aired on: September 25, 2008

Like many Americans today, Stephanie and her husband Kevin are finding it difficult to make ends meet. With six children to feed, rising food prices, and a monthly grocery budget of $650, getting a healthy meal on the table has become a struggle. "We're definitely worried about sacrificing quality for price," Stephanie says. So Rachael shows them three delicious and nutritious meals under $22 that will help them stretch their food dollar:

Spanish Chicken & Rice: $10.75
Potato Kielbasa Bake: $9.45
London Broil, Smothered Onions and Crispy Smashed Potatoes: $21.14
(prices based on 6-8 portions)

In order to make their food shopping a little less stressful, Sara Lee gives Stephanie and her family $10,000 toward groceries for an entire year!
