Price of a meal

Tin foil chicken and veg.
BIG breast of chicken on a bed of potatoes, carrots, onions.  Baked in oven 45 min.
Brownies for dessert.

I can tell you, dessert is 7 cents a serving.
The brownie mix I got on sale, plus 2 eggs, oil and water.
The whole batch was .83, cut into 12 pieces.

Dinner for 4.  We only have 3, but I like leftovers.
1.68 per serving.
So dinner was 6.72.  Kind of pricey by my standards.
BUT if I spent that for dinner for a week.  7 nights,  it would be $47.04.  Basically the price for 2 people to go out once to a mid range restaurant.

So, eating at home is the most frugal choice. And Healthier.

VERY LARGE chicken breast of bed of veggies.  Yes the butter was calculated into the total of the meal.

Breakfast December edition

Last weekend, my son wanted french toast.
So I made some
and then some.
It is not any extra time or effort to make a big batch, freeze it.
Now my son can just pop them in the toaster during the week. 

MMMMM French Toast

Typical Frugal Day

I do indeed practice what I preach.
Load of laundry consisted of cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of using paper towels.

One of the many drawers that have cloth napkins in it.  We use them every meal.

 

Instead of paper towels

Shopping for myself Pt 2

Boscovs
They have some deals
New shirt for me $2.99

Shopping for myself

Needed facial moisturizer.
Even with coupons, it can be very expensive.
But I found a small section of Marshalls/HomeGoods store has Beauty products.
Brand names like Loreal, Strivectin, Keihl's, BodyShop  etc.  way discounted.
So that is where I get it.
Cheaper than a grocery store, CVS or Ulta even when on sale and a coupon used.  It is not expired.
They also have brand named make up.
