Roots of a Southern Kitchen

Budget Bites Series

The prices on these meals will, of course, depend on where you live and what store you shop in, but they surely won’t break the bank! Also, I am choosing not to include things like seasonings and essentials like butter and oil for cooking because I assume most people have these things in their home!

*Prices are all from Walmart, but will vary depending on what store you shop at. Most meals will serve 4.*
