BudgetBytes is a lifesaving blog about inexpensive food recipes. The recipes are simple to make and fast to prepare. People whom cooking scares away need not fear: each recipe provides a concise step-by-step procedure which clarifies and simplifies all things, like so:

As you can see in the first screenshot above, the titles of the recipes are accompanied by the amount you’ll need to spend on making them. That helps you save time by only choosing dishes you can afford to cook.

Moreover when you click on a recipe, it gives you various details for instance, a cost breakdown of each ingredient, the number of people the dish will serve, and the total preparation time.

Cutting down on your food budget while you’re going through a financial crisis should no longer translate into surviving on noodles the entire month. You can use the amazing recipes of Beth M. (the blog’s author) and eat healthy (and tasty) all the while keeping your wallets happy.

The Sandwich Price Calculator tells you how much it cost to make a sandwich at home. It’s from the guys over at cockeyed.com in their ‘How Much is Inside’ series.

The app consists of a virtual sandwich maker whereby you select what type of bread you want to use and then add in the fillers.  It’s nothing flashy; consisting mainly of boxes that need to be ticked and dropdown menus that need to be selected. When you click calculate, your virtual sandwich is displayed as seen in the screenshot with the price of each ingredient beside it. The total cost is shown at the bottom.

They also have another page which shows you how they calculated how much the average person puts on their sandwich and how much each ingredient costs.

This is a useful app for those trying to cut back on the spending or anyone who’s interested in seeing how much their sandwich actually costs them.
