We feel our time is valuable and needs to be used well.

So they often offer us cheap food that requires(需要) no cooking or cleaning, and only a short time to pick up.But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious(有营养的), so its not the best choice. 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 is one dish including meat, rice, and also some cabbages, carrots or tomatoes. This is not only a cheap meal idea, but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20 minutes.You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs for the family in about half an hour. 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 a whole day.Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni(通心粉) and cheese with meat” dish, which is the fastest, only takes around 15 minutes to cook.If you are interested in these cheap meal ideas, youre welcome to visit our website for details.
