An Eggplant Extravaganza
A fruit you didn't know was a fruit. Often underrated and overlooked, Frankie shows us how to shop for and cook this filling, delicious, cost-effective, and versatile ingredient.

More Bang for Your Buck
Frankie shows which cuts of meat provide the most bang for a consumer's buck, and equally as important, how to cook them for optimal flavour.

Plant-based Budget Meals
Frankie busts the myth that eating plant-based is expensive. Preparing these good-for-you meals is all about eating seasonally to save money on produce, and shopping the bulk aisle for even more savings on plant-based pantry items.

The Weekly Struggle Budget
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for seven days, for a family of four, for under $150.

Cheesin'
Cheese can be really expensive. Frankie teaches us how to cook with more affordable cheese swaps than what might normally be called for in a recipe. More importantly, we learn how to stretch cheese in a dish so it can be the star.

Turn Up For Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of the most produced fruits, especially when in season. Frankie teaches us how to prepare them fresh in a variety of ways. And for even more savings, Frankie will share a few tips on how to preserve tomatoes.

Date Night
Date night doesn't have to be at an over-priced, mediocre restaurant. Frankie prepares an affordable and delicious sushi date night at home, filled with three courses, plus tips on how to set date night ambiance at home on a struggle budget.

Lunches for Work
Frankie shows how to make five nutritious lunches for the whole workweek.

Frankie & Flour
Flour has the super power to transform into an endless variety of meals, and a little goes a long way. Frankie teaches us how to make three different meals using flour as the affordable vehicle. Save money, learn new techniques.

Hot Dishes
You say hotdishes, Frankie says casserole. Either way, these one-pot hotdishes are an affordable way to feed a group of people, or the family for dinner. Plus they're great to freeze for future meals.
