No matter whether you eat at home or in a restaurant, sometimes the cost of a meal can seem way too high. And while you might think that eating at home can save some money, the reality is that home-cooked meals can add up too. Purchasing individual ingredients — some of which you end up throwing away — plus spending hours in the kitchen or cooking a meal that doesn’t meet your expectations can all be costly in the end.
If you’re looking for something easy to make after a long day at work or simply don’t have the time to cook, these frozen foods can satisfy your hunger and save time better spent elsewhere. And the best part is they’re all under $5.
Great Value Cheese Tortellini Pasta
- Price: $4.27
If you’re looking for a delicious frozen meal that you can still make your own, this tortellini pasta is perfect for you. It includes 4 1/2 servings, so you can cook it for your friends and family or have some leftovers for yourself. Since it comes without a sauce, you can add anything you’d like, whether you’re in the mood for tomatoes and garlic, olive oil, or butter — the choice is yours. While that could bump the total cost a little above $5, it still comes out to way less than $5 per serving.
Red Baron Pepperoni Classic Crust Frozen Pizza
- Price: $4.82
A frozen pizza is a staple that everyone should have in their freezers at all times. It’s great for those times when you just don’t feel like cooking, or when you’re binge-watching your favorite Netflix show on a Friday night and are looking for the perfect comfort food. This frozen pizza in particular comes topped with pepperoni, and also contains about four servings.
Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi Pasta Bowl Frozen Meal
- Price: $3.98
This next meal is for seafood lovers. At only $3.98, this shrimp scampi pasta bowl is much less expensive than going out to a fancy Italian restaurant. Plus, you can eat it on your couch. It packs 19 grams of protein, so this not only will you satisfy your pasta craving but also may keep you full for longer.Â
MorningStar Farms Vegan Plant-Based Burgers
- Price: $4.58
Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan or just looking to eat less meat, these veggie burgers are great to throw on a bun or even eat on their own. You can bring them to barbecues or cook at home for an easy meal. With four in a pack, they’re great to keep in the freezer for whenever you need a quick lunch. For a more complete meal, pair with a side salad, beans, frozen veggies or even just a handful of chips.
Wow Bao Chicken Soup Dumplings
- Price: $4.96
Dumplings are so fun and delicious to eat, but they may not be the easiest food to make. With these frozen chicken soup dumplings, you can enjoy them without all the cooking! They’re perfect to bring to a potluck meal or to enjoy at home while still being gourmet.
