Top Budget Meals to Save Money From The Holidays

If you’re like most Filipinos, you might have spent a lot during the past months because of the festivities last Christmas and New Year Holidays. So as you start 2023, you might be feeling a bit budget-conscious when it comes to expenses, including food. But this shouldn’t stop you altogether from having delicious meals that you can do. Here are some meal ideas when you’re looking for affordable yet delicious dishes you can make for your home.

Silog Meals

Filipinos love their breakfast meals so much that having a breakfast meal for lunch or dinner is not even unheard of anymore. And this is where silog meals shine. They’re easy to make, affordable, and won’t break the bank to have every day. Silog which means sinangag (or fried rice) and itlog (egg) can easily be paired with almost any breakfast meat item. And with CDO offering a variety of breakfast Filipino favorites, it’s always going to be a sure win. From CDO Idol Cheesedog, CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino, CDO Young Pork Bacon, CDO Luncheon Meat or CDO Karne Norte Classic, there are so many great-tasting breakfast dishes you can try and prepare for the family.

Pandesal Sandwiches

If you prefer bread instead of rice, pandesal or the Filipino dinner roll is another breakfast staple at home, which can sometimes even be a perfect quick snack for merienda. These bread items are actually great on their own and many have been known to consume the pandesal simply with a cup of coffee as their breakfast. But more than that, you can add butter to give it more flavor and texture, maybe some scrambled eggs and some meat like CDO Classic Sweet Ham then paired with Danes Cheese, for a more filling meal.

Noodles

Another way to save up yet still have a great meal is by preparing noodles. Make it special while still on a budget by pairing it with some other food items and making a complete meal out of it. Level up those noodle packs by adding CDO Idol Cheesedog and turning them into Stir-Fry Noodles. Or if you’re having noodle soup instead, top it off with dimsum like Holiday Siomai. Whatever you decide to add, you can really bring up your noodle game without having to break your budget.
