Have dinner on the table in 20 minutes with this chowder. It’s also a good one to prepare when energy supplies are limited during a disaster.

If the money-saving opportunities of bulk bins are not available to you, look to big chain stores, house brands, and international grocery stores.

This thick creamy chowder is full of vegetables (and bacon!). Cheddar cheese soup, milk, ham, bacon, vegetables.

Leftover Pantry Fideo? Use it in this quick lunch. Serve with a small plate of cheese nachos or a grilled cheese sandwich.

This has become our go-to favorite for serving with enchiladas. Mexican style pasta! It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s good!
