In today’s society, everyone is busy and running at a fast pace each day. It does not matter what the reason is; your time is precious and needs to be managed effectively. You need cheap meal ideas that help you save your time and money and still provide a healthy and nutritious (有营养的) dinner for you and your family.
The fast food makers know we have little time and use this very thing to make themselves successful. The idea of coming home after a long day at work and cooking for four or five people is not something we look forward to. This is why they offer you cheap food that requires no cooking, no cleaning, and only 25 minutes to pick up.
But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious, so it’s not the healthiest choice to consider. There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.
The first cheap meal idea includes meat, vegetables and rice all in one dish. Not only is this a cheap meal idea, but it is fast since it can be made in only 20 minutes.
You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs (摊鸡蛋) for the family in about 30 minutes. If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner, consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through an entire day.
Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni (通心粉) and cheese with meat” dish, which only takes around 20 minutes to cook.
