Fish 'n Chips Dinner

Linda Larsen
The cheapest way to buy fish (unless you have a fisherman in the house) is frozen breaded fish sticks and fish portions. Read labels carefully and you'll be able to find a healthy choice. Paired with some crisp French fries and a refreshing coleslaw, this inexpensive dinner is delicious and easy.

Fish 'n Chips Dinner for $7.69

  • Fish 'n Chips Dinner
    Dress up some frozen fish portions by sprinkling them with chili powder before they bake to crisp perfection. This one recipe makes a crunchy coleslaw, crisp and hot French fries (or 'chips', as the English call them) and spicy fish portions for under seven dollars. Be sure to avoid the 'whole fillets', which cost $7.00 just for four servings! Buy the portions made from shredded fish, which are just as nutritious. Cost for four servings: $6.94
  • California Gold Bars
    These easy and rich bars that are not too sweet, are the perfect ending for this inexpensive dinner. Cost for four servings: $0.75
