Cheap Meals
| By Lynn Forgy On the menu for this week are some extremely cheap meals (all my money seems to be disappearing in my mouth -- on my teeth). 1) Baked beans and cornbread: Large Can of Bush's Vegetarian beans - $1.50 Cornbread (I buy a mix that requires egg and milk) - $.45 Total $1.95 2) Pizza: Dough (homemade, less than $.25) Sauce - $.88 Cheese (I buy the fat free, but Wal-mart and Kroger usually have shredded cheese on sale for $1.50) - $3.00 $3.88 3) Corn Casserole: Cornbread (I buy the mix, adding a little more butter to make it more soupy) - $.45 Corn (creamed corn and regular) - $1.00 Sour cream - $.90 Total $2.35 4) Cheesy Potatoes and Broccoli: Potatoes (I have these already, but a 10 pound bag is now $3.98 at the local Wal-mart) Cheese - $3.00 Broccoli (I buy the frozen bags) - $1.00 Total $4.00 5) Fried Rice: Rice (a large box is $2.00, and I'll use about 1/4 of the box) - $.50 Shrimp (small bag of frozen shrimp) - $2.50 Onion (have this on hand) Green Pepper (it will probably be $1.00 each at the grocery, so I'll wait until these go on sale to have green peppers in my fried rice) Egg - $.25 Total $3.25 |
