The short answer

Build affordable dinners around lentils, eggs, canned beans and frozen vegetables. A cookbook with overlapping ingredients and flexible serving sizes can reduce shopping costs and waste while supporting a varied diet.

Frequently asked questions

Does a cheaper dinner mean poorer nutrition?

No. Beans, lentils, eggs and frozen vegetables can supply useful nutrients; variety matters more than a PCOS label.
