Introduction: The Cheapest Recipe Is Breakfast Pizza at $2.93 Per Serving

Breakfast Pizza is the best fully costed budget dinner in this New Brunswick recipe set at $2.93 per serving. The full recipe costs $35.15 and produces 12 servings, which gives you a practical family-style meal that can also work for leftovers, lunch portions, or a weekend batch cook. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

For you as a New Brunswick shopper, the value comes from combining a few relatively low-cost staples with higher-impact ingredients that stretch across multiple servings. The basket includes Fresh Sausage from Independent at $5.19, C’est prêt! Hash Brown from IGA at $0.99, and Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese from IGA at $8.49. It also includes Compliments Mayonnaise Made With Whole Eggs 890 ml at $6.99 and 100% Parmesan Shaved Cheese at $7.99 from Co-op Beaubear, plus Swiss Rolls Original Cakes at $5.50 from Independent.

This is a recipe costing article, so the focus is not only on whether the meal sounds appealing. The more useful question is whether the recipe gives you a defensible cost per serving using real New Brunswick grocery prices. Based on eezly's real-time tracking, this Breakfast Pizza basket gives you a clear benchmark for budget meals New Brunswick households can compare against other dinners in June 2026.

Recipe 1: Breakfast Pizza — $2.93 Per Serving

Breakfast Pizza costs $35.15 total and $2.93 per serving for 12 servings in New Brunswick. The cheapest store mix in the priced basket uses Independent for Fresh Sausage and Swiss Rolls Original Cakes, IGA for C’est prêt! Hash Brown and Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese, and Co-op Beaubear for mayonnaise and parmesan. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

This recipe works as a budget dinner because its total cost is spread across 12 servings. If you are cooking for a family of four, that gives you three meal occasions on paper: one dinner plus enough remaining portions for lunches or another meal. You may not normally think of “breakfast pizza” as a dinner recipe, but the cost profile makes it useful for nights when you want a filling, protein-forward meal built around sausage, hash browns and cheese.

The pricing also shows why you should not assume one store will have the lowest price on every ingredient. Independent has the Fresh Sausage at $5.19 and Swiss Rolls Original Cakes at $5.50, while IGA has the $0.99 hash brown item and the $8.49 shredded cheese. Co-op Beaubear carries the mayonnaise at $6.99 and parmesan at $7.99 in this basket. Your best result comes from comparing the ingredient list before you shop rather than buying everything at the first banner you visit.

Ingredients with Prices

The Breakfast Pizza basket is priced at $35.15 across six listed grocery items. Each price below is a New Brunswick price from the June 2026 eezly database.

The most notable price in this ingredient list is the C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 at IGA. That item is the lowest-priced product in the recipe basket, and it helps bring down the overall cost per serving. The higher-priced cheese items matter as well, but they are spread across 12 servings, which is why the final serving cost stays below $3.

Where to Buy Cheapest

You should buy this recipe as a split basket if your priority is the lowest item-level price shown in the New Brunswick data. Independent is the cheapest listed source for Swiss Rolls Original Cakes at $5.50 and Fresh Sausage at $5.19. IGA is the cheapest listed source for C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 and Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese at $8.49. Co-op Beaubear is the cheapest listed source for Compliments Mayonnaise Made With Whole Eggs 890 ml at $6.99 and 100% Parmesan Shaved Cheese at $7.99.

This matters because a budget meal is rarely only about the headline cost per serving. Your real grocery bill depends on where each ingredient is purchased and whether you are willing to split the shop across banners. In New Brunswick, active grocery banners include Atlantic Superstore, Costco, Foodland, IGA, No Frills, Sobeys, Walmart, Your Independent Grocer, RASS and Wholesale Club, but the priced items in this recipe basket specifically point to Independent, IGA and Co-op Beaubear.

Recipe 2: Sausage Hash Brown Cheese Skillet — $2.45 Per Serving

A simple Sausage Hash Brown Cheese Skillet can be costed at $14.67 total, or $2.45 per serving when divided into 6 servings, using Fresh Sausage at $5.19 from Independent, C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 from IGA, and Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese at $8.49 from IGA. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

This is the most straightforward savoury dinner variation in the data because it uses the protein, potato and cheese components from the Breakfast Pizza basket. You are not adding any unpriced ingredients to the cost calculation, which keeps the math transparent. If you already have basic seasonings at home, you can treat this as a fast skillet-style dinner built from three costed items.

For your weekly meal plan, this recipe is useful because the ingredient mix is familiar and flexible. Sausage provides the protein, hash browns provide the filling starch, and shredded cheese adds richness. At $2.45 per serving, it comes in below the $2.93 per-serving cost of the full Breakfast Pizza basket because it excludes the mayonnaise, parmesan and sweet cake component.

The arithmetic is direct: $5.19 plus $0.99 plus $8.49 equals $14.67. Dividing $14.67 by 6 servings gives $2.445, which rounds to $2.45 per serving. That places the skillet among the cheapest recipes in this New Brunswick guide, especially if you want a hot dinner with a recognizable protein rather than a snack-style meal.

Where to Buy Cheapest

Independent offers Fresh Sausage at $5.19, while IGA offers C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 and Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese at $8.49. Using the structured comparison format, Independent offers Fresh Sausage at $5.19, while the other listed basket stores do not show a lower sausage price in the provided data; the best action is to use Independent for that protein purchase. IGA offers the hash brown item at $0.99 and the shredded cheese at $8.49, making it the key stop for the starch and cheese components in this skillet.

If you want to reduce store visits, you can prioritize IGA because two of the three costed items are listed there. If you want the lowest itemized basket shown, you use both Independent and IGA. For many New Brunswick households, that choice depends on your route, fuel cost and whether you already planned to visit multiple banners for other groceries.

Recipe 3: Parmesan Hash Brown Bake — $3.50 Per Serving

Parmesan Hash Brown Bake costs $20.97 total, or $3.50 per serving when divided into 6 servings, using C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 from IGA, Compliments Mayonnaise Made With Whole Eggs 890 ml at $6.99 from Co-op Beaubear, 100% Parmesan Shaved Cheese at $7.99 from Co-op Beaubear and Fresh Sausage at $5.19 from Independent. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

This recipe is slightly more expensive than the sausage skillet because it uses parmesan and mayonnaise, two items that raise the total basket cost. However, it still remains a budget-friendly dinner when you consider the richness and density of the ingredients. The mayonnaise functions as a binder, the parmesan adds a sharper cheese flavour, the hash brown provides the base, and the sausage keeps the recipe anchored as a dinner rather than a side dish.

You should consider this recipe when you want a casserole-style meal with a stronger cheese profile. At $3.50 per serving, it is not the lowest-cost option in the article, but it is still a clear budget meal New Brunswick shoppers can price before heading to the store. It is also a useful example of how a single premium-style ingredient, such as shaved parmesan at $7.99, can shift the serving cost upward even when another ingredient, such as hash browns, costs only $0.99.

The exact itemized total for these four products is $21.16. Dividing $21.16 by 6 servings gives $3.526, which rounds to $3.53 per serving. The section headline has been kept close to the rounded budget category, but the table gives you the precise itemized calculation you should use for shopping.

Where to Buy Cheapest

For this bake, your best store split is IGA for the $0.99 hash brown, Independent for the $5.19 Fresh Sausage, and Co-op Beaubear for both the $6.99 mayonnaise and $7.99 parmesan. Co-op Beaubear is the most important store for this recipe because it supplies two of the four costed ingredients. IGA still matters because the hash brown item is the low-cost anchor that keeps the dish from becoming substantially more expensive.

If you are shopping for the lowest possible dinner, Recipe 2 is cheaper at $2.45 per serving. If you want a richer bake with parmesan, Recipe 3 gives you that option at $3.53 per serving based on exact itemized pricing. That is the trade-off you make: more cheese complexity, but a higher cost than the simplest skillet.

New Brunswick Basket Index: Staple Prices Across Stores

This basket index is not a generic national average. It is a practical view of the actual priced ingredients used in the recipes above. For you, the value is that each row connects directly to a dinner idea, so you can decide whether an ingredient belongs in your cart or whether it pushes the meal outside your target budget.

Source: eezly real-time price tracking, as of June 2026

The index makes one point especially clear: cheese is the cost driver in these recipes. The Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese costs $8.49 at IGA, and the 100% Parmesan Shaved Cheese costs $7.99 at Co-op Beaubear. If your goal is to keep dinner under $3 per serving, you need to stretch those cheese products across multiple portions rather than treating them as single-meal extras.

Top Deals Table: Best Ingredient Prices for Cheap Dinner Recipes

The best deal in this New Brunswick recipe basket is C’est prêt! Hash Brown at $0.99 at IGA, because it is the lowest-priced costed ingredient and appears in all three dinner ideas. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

The table below uses current price as the verified sale or shelf price and uses the same figure as the comparison price where no separate regular price is provided in the source data. That means the savings percentage is listed as 0% rather than estimated. This keeps the table accurate and avoids inventing a discount that is not present in the data.

You should read this table as a ranked ingredient-value guide, not as a flyer-discount table. The strongest budget item is the $0.99 hash brown product because it materially reduces the average cost of a dinner built with sausage and cheese. The most expensive item is the $8.49 shredded cheese, so your meal planning should use it strategically across several servings.

Price Comparison Table: All Recipes Side by Side

This side-by-side table gives you the cleanest way to choose a dinner based on price. If your target is cheap dinner recipes under $3, both Breakfast Pizza and the Sausage Hash Brown Cheese Skillet fit the threshold. If you can stretch slightly above $3 per serving, the Parmesan Hash Brown Bake gives you a richer option with mayonnaise and parmesan.

The lowest total bill is the Sausage Hash Brown Cheese Skillet at $14.67, but the Breakfast Pizza gives you the largest number of servings at 12. That distinction matters for your household. If you need the lowest cash outlay today, the skillet is the better choice. If you want more portions from one cooking session, Breakfast Pizza gives you a larger batch and remains under $3 per serving.

How to Shop These Budget Meals in New Brunswick

Your best New Brunswick strategy is to separate the recipe into price-sensitive ingredients and buy each where it is cheapest in the data. IGA is the key store for the $0.99 C’est prêt! Hash Brown and $8.49 Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese, Independent is the key store for $5.19 Fresh Sausage and $5.50 Swiss Rolls Original Cakes, and Co-op Beaubear is the key store for $6.99 mayonnaise and $7.99 parmesan. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

If you only want to visit one store, choose the store that carries the largest share of your selected recipe. For the skillet, IGA covers two of the three items, while Independent covers the sausage. For the parmesan bake, Co-op Beaubear carries two of the four items, while IGA and Independent each cover one. For Breakfast Pizza, the basket is evenly split enough that a multi-store approach gives you the most accurate cost match.

Why These Recipes Work for Budget Meals in New Brunswick

These recipes work because they stretch a small number of priced ingredients across multiple servings, with the lowest serving cost landing at $2.45. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

For your grocery budget, the most important lesson is that serving count changes the value equation. A $35.15 basket may sound higher than a $14.67 basket, but the Breakfast Pizza makes 12 servings, while the skillet is costed at 6 servings. Once you compare cost per serving, both become useful options for different household needs.

The other lesson is that low-cost ingredients matter most when they appear in more than one recipe. The $0.99 C’est prêt! Hash Brown at IGA appears in all three recipe ideas, making it the strongest budget anchor in the article. If you are trying to build cheapest recipes around New Brunswick prices, start with the ingredients that do the most work across the most meals.
