Three Meals for $4.00 |
|
|
My tip is to be ready to adapt and succeed. If you find yourself in unexpected circumstances, allow for it.
One day with $4.00 to spend on dinner. I managed to make dinner from a package of six chicken legs. I put 2 in for soup. We ate the other 4. Package = $.98.
From a package of 10 chicken wings, we cut the tips from the wings and ate the wings BBQ'd. Saved the tips for soup. pkg = $1.29
For the soup: 1 large carrot, 1 large celery for $.48, sliced into pennies, 1 pkg of irregular noodles for $.25. Box of crackers for $.69.
Realizing I had $.31 left, I went ahead and bought a box of jello for $.25.
I bought all these items in the discount bins. We had a lot of chicken but we loved it.

I love your resourcefulness. It reminds me that we often spend much more than we need to for the simple things.
RE: Three Meals for $4.00
WOW! I dont know where you shop but our sale bins arent that cheap, let alone the chicken. We shop at Save-A-Lot Celery is MABY
$1.26 a pk of 6 chicken legs would probably be at least $3.00
Noodles are .79 crackers are .69 Jello is .29. We have went there for ages. I want your store lol
