In this video I wanted to challenge myself to make a couple of family friendly dinners that only cost $5. I was surprised with what I could get for $5 to make some delicious pasta dinners. I used some pantry staples such as oil , flour and seasoning to add some flavor to the main ingredients which I didn't include these in the overall cost.

I challenge you to try to only spend $5 for a meal and see how much you can get.

CHORIZO PASTA Total $4.29
Penne 40c
Tin Tomatoes 60c
Frozen Veges 40c
Onion 45c
Beef Stock 16c
Chorizo $2.28

CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA Total $4.28
Penne 40c
Chicken Stock 16c
400g Chicken $3.32
Frozen Veges 40c
