Parent Profile: Meet Erin Chase
by 
One of the reasons I began this adventure in blogging was to network and meet new people. One of these people I have had the pleasure of getting to know a bit is Erin from 5 dollar dinners .com. Erin combines eating well with being frugal and she pulls it off by making healthy, delicious meals for her family that cost only $5.00! What I appreciate about her is that her recipes and tips are useful and unique. While the cost of food is on the rise, Erin combines strategic shopping and carefully planned recipes to get the most bang for her buck…and she shares her ideas every day.
