The Texas Roast was purchased at the Franz Bread store for 1.13 a loaf ,. The cantaloupe was 2.00 at Safeway's and it was huge, The bacon was 2.43 for 12 ounces at Winco. Eggs are .88 at the Kroger stores. We have a lot left to incorporate into other meals. I made extra french toast and froze it so we can toast it for breakfast.
Our average this year has been less than 4.00 a day and we supplement granddaughter and grow a stock. Four dollars a day is what we spend totally. You can’t call it four dollars a day when you have to spend ten dollars a day to get the ingredients. What we have left from last night’s dinner, we can incorporate into other meals and still maintain a four dollar a day budget.
Its buying what’s on sale and incorporating it into meals. Not everything on a sale ad is on sale. Its FOR SALE, but not necessarily on sale, There is a drastic difference sometimes just between stores for the exact same thing. Picking your store for the best prices that week is a good tool in reducing your food costs. Going to more than one store is essential . No one store has all the lowest prices. And, no food is going to do your family any good if you are feeding it to the garbage disposal.
French Toast
Mix eggs with a little water or milk and some cinnamon and nutmeg, Soak bread in egg mixture, Cook on frying pan or griddle until browned, turn and cook the other side. I put the toast on a cookie sheet and kept it warm in a 250 degree oven.
My husband cooked the bacon between paper towels in the microwave while I cut part of the cantaloupe.
All in all, dinner was really fast, easy, and cheap. We still got protein, starch, and a serving of fruit.
