I'm planning a grocery budget challenge where I'll be eating for $23 for the week. I'm trying to save money on groceries and eat frugally by planning budget friendly meals. In this Walmart grocery haul I'll be reusing ingredients across meals. This meal plan can be doubled or tripled to feed a family on a budget for frugal living.

Lemon Spaghetti
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/g...
*I use this recipe and cut down to 1/3 for one person. I add garlic, fresh if I have it, or I use garlic powder or garlic salt added to the oil.

For both the spaghetti with tomatoes and lemon spaghetti make sure that you cook your spaghetti in heavily salted water, otherwise it will taste like something is missing and be bland. RESERVE SOME PASTA WATER (this will be used to thicken your sauce so that it coats the noodle well).

Season olive oil in a pan with garlic powder and salt, or garlic salt and then add the lemon along with 1/2 cup of pasta water to start. Add more later if needed. Taste this and adjust seasonings as necessary. Obviously if you have butter, a pat of batter will add flavor to the dish and a little parmesan is nice too if you have it. I don't usually have basil so I don't add that in (like Giada has in her recipe).

You cook the spaghetti with tomatoes the same way except instead of adding lemon juice, you add the roasted or pan fried tomatoes. I like to make sure that the little tomatoes have garlic on them so that they are little flavor bombs.
