Welcome to the first meal in my bi-weekly series of #mealsonbudget. Thanks to COVID >> Inflation >> Recession, your grocery budget is probably feeling the pinch. However, we refuse to live like peasants. This series will give you two luxury meals every week for two people under $10 for the next month. Guess what? I also know the importance of leftovers, so I have synchronised my recipes so you do not have to throw away anything or end up with ingredients you cannot use. First this week is a spaghetti recipe ‘spaghetti In Coconut Creamed Crabs Tails’.
