<human>:  How can I make a quick dinner on a budget?
<bot>: One way to make a quick dinner on a budget is to look for ingredients that are in season and less expensive, such as vegetables and grains. Try recipes that only require a few ingredients and that can be cooked quickly, such as stir-fries, pasta dishes, or one-pot meals. You could also look for meals that use inexpensive cuts of meat, like ground beef or pork, as these can often be stretched by adding in things like beans or rice. Finally, you can also save time and money by meal-prepping ahead of time, and freezing or storing portions of meals for easy reheating later on.
