In the last episode, we made it through step 3 of the 5 steps to meal planning on a budget! 

Now let's dive into steps 4-5. I am collaborating with two of my most frugal friends who are GREAT cooks to compile 5 steps to meal planning on a budget, merging both requests of our families of teens.

May I introduce you to Tiffany of Don’t Waste the Crumbs and Steph of Cheapskate Cook, who never cease to amaze me with their ability to save money while also generously hosting friends and sharing their knowledge with others online?

You'll get to hear from them both in this episode.
