[babytrees]

well my crockpot and I are not getting along...it has burnt 2 pieces of meat this week....so it's a yo yo night. Probably cheapo pizza....blech!!

 

[kmchar1]

We had 3 pieces of Salmon (2.00) on the grill, Assorted frozen veggies (1.50), white rice (.50) and blueberries for dessert (1.50).

Super yummy!!!

Tomorrow we are planning on: shepard's pie using all leftovers from previous nights this week! Plus some Cole's garlic bread (1.00). And probably some type of fruit for dessert.

I can't believe how much money we are saving every night from not eating out. And we used to eat out A LOT.

 

[Adi12982]

I made chicken and dumplings:

Chicken ($3.70)
dumplings "mix" (~$0.50)
Broth and spices ($1)
Steamed Broccoli ($0.33)
drinks ($0.25)

TOTAL: $5.78 (4 servings, so $1.45 a serving )

 

[grlpwrd]

We had shepard's pie. One was made with ground turkey breast for the meat eaters in our family and then another was made with soy chicken (from dixiediner.com). No gravy.

I can't believe how much money we are saving every night from not eating out. And we used to eat out A LOT.

Tell me about it! I was under the weather Wednesday night (I have very bad sinus/allergy issues this time of year) so instead of cooking, DH insisted that I stay in bed and he would get him and DD something. He ordered a $20 pizza! That $20 probably would pay for my meals for the past 4 days! (and there were no leftovers!)

Tonight is spaghetti - meat - 2.33
sauce - in freezer already but I think it was $1
garlic bread - $1
noodles - 0.50

I know they have salad on sale this week so I may stop and get a bag of Caesar for $2 before I come home from work.

 

[beckanoah]

We're having Fajitas tonight

Chicken
Peppers (we got these red and yellows on sale)
onions
Tortillas
Cheese
sour cream
salsa

about 8.00 for 4 of us plus leftovers!

 

[Sorsha]

Tonight is chicken enchiladas with cream sauce.
It's not budget, and rather heavy in the fat/calories department, so we don't make it very often.... but boy is it yummy! Sometimes you need a treat after a LONG work-week, right?

 

[Tinker'n'Fun]

Tonight is Jazzy frozen pizza, lettuce salad, and fruit salad..

I got a frozen freschetta pizza on sale w/ coupon for $2.00. I will jazz it up with the leftover veggies and cheese from earlier this week. I got a free head of lettuce w/ coupon this week and will add veggies (.50) and dressings (.50). We have left over bananas, apples, strawberries, and cantelope. I made a fruit salad with a simple dressing (.50). Total for take-out at home $3.50 for a family of 4. I also picked up package of skinny cow ice cream saucers on sale for $1.00 w/ my coupon. So tonights snack is ow so cheap compared to Dairy Queen! Gotta love Friday Night Meals!

 

[Priorityonecb]

I'm not feeling great today, and I have no idea when the teen is coming home from theater rehearsal soooo...

Tuna sandwiches
Carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, fruit salad

Sadly, with tuna now $1.30 a can (I make two for a family of four) and the high cost of fresh fruits/veggies...it's not as budget a meal as it used to be!

 

[TenThousandVolts]

We are having fresh Rockfish my DH just pulled out of the Chesapeake Bay! So that part is definately budget- but of course I had to buy some fresh lemons and herbs and a good bottle of wine, so all together- no not really a budget meal.
