I found a fun show online called Struggle Meals. Here is his Struggle Meals Facebook page. I enjoyed watching his cooking demonstrations and that he used ingredients that are tight budget friendly. It's funny when he uses his array of take out sauces to round out his recipes. Definitely worth a watch. Especially if you are an inexperienced cook. Frankie Celenza makes cooking accessible and entertaining. Give it a try!

The blog Budget Bytes is a good one too. Awhile back, she did a series where she made her meals surviving on the food stamp amount. I think it was $4/ day.
