Shopping without stocking.

This assumes you have the basics of floor , oil,etc.   it has too many processed foods to my liking. And a lot of it would be cheaper if you bought it in bulk.  I marked the ingredients used with a $.  This would also take you to four stores and cost more in some instances than stocking. 

I paid .75 for suddenly salad . I make it with olive oil.    , chicken thighs are .68 at times at Winco.   Binkess chicken breasts are 4.00 a pound at QFC on sale BOGO for wa grown.   I paid a buck at Freddie's last week. ( sale still on til Saturday) .  Scalloped potatoes I got for .60 .   Sometimes if the
dollar store has Betty Crocker they are free with coupons.  Potatoes were 1.00 for ten pounds at Winco last week.   



Total dinners 32.00 divided by 7 equals  4.57 each.
