Five Dollar Friday! Spaghetti and meatballs for under $5!

Stumbled upon these awesome cheat meatballs in the grocery store and thought what and perfect weeknight dinner idea!

Not big into the texture of traditional frozen meatballs but these ones are fresh/frozen raw so it's the closet to homemade that I have seen.

Paired with some of my price matched pantry staples, dinner for the kids was ready in under 30 minutes and very well received.

Here's a photo of what I used to create this easy, delicious and budget friendly supper!
