Well the news is out....so to speak.  Consumer prices increased 5.4% for the year ending May, per a Department of Labor report.  Forecasters had expected a 4.9% increase. It's the biggest increase since 2008.  Time to do some serious budget meals....that don't skip on flavor.

For that we went to SPRUCE EATS--and 19 Budget Meals for Families.  There's even a Vegan Cauliflower Tacos With Crispy Chickpeas recipe.  See all 19 BUDGET MEALS FOR FAMILIES HERE.
