Sometimes life happens and you just can’t get a home cooked meal on the table. One of my kids absolute favorite meals is fish, mac & cheese and a veggie.
I love that there is minimal effort for this meal and that I can get it on the table fast with my air fryer! No worries if you don’t have one, just cook the fish per the package instructions in the oven. The mac & cheese and the veggies heat up fast.
This dinner is inexpensive and fast. It’s one of my “rescue meals” on a night I don’t have anything else planned.
I also like that I can get this entire dinner on the table for $7.08! That’s less than the cost of fast food for one person! Definitely a budget meal that gets the job done.
The prices from the Walmart Online Grocery App as of November 2019, with no coupons and no sales are as follows:
1 box Great Value Crispy Battered Fish Fillets ($3.08)
2 boxes Mac and Cheese ($2.00)
2 cans or a bag of frozen veggie ($2.00)
I get this isn’t gourmet, but let’s keep it real. We’re a busy family living on a budget and some times store bought meals are all we have time for.
