Meals for 2 Under $10

We asked a few of your favourite recipe developers to come up with a bunch of recipes you can easily make at home for less than $5 per serve!

Just like us, you've got bills to pay - electricity, gas, water, car insurance. The list goes on. Then there's the rent or mortgage. And we understand that it's not always easy.

But we also believe that eating nutritious meals is a basic need, and mealtimes shouldn't add to your worries. Which is why for World Egg Day, on Friday 14th October, we asked a few of your favourite recipe developers to put together a bunch of recipes that you can easily make at home for less than $5 per serve, and they taste delicious.

Have a crack at making one of the recipes below for dinner this week - all for less than $5 per serve.

Classic Omelette

If you only learn how to make a few meals in life - an omelette should be one of them. Omelettes are extremely filling, super affordable (who doesn't love a cheap grocery bill?!), and versatile because you can choose to fill them with whatever veggies you love (or whatever you have in the fridge tonight). They're great for nights you either (a) don't know what to cook, or (b) can't be bothered to cook.
