1. Chicken was purchased at a dollar a pound for boneless, skinless .  Bread is a quarter a loaf. 
2. Pizza is a mainstay.  It costs a dollar for scratch cheese pizza.  Bomboli was 1.12 including the red sauce at Costco.   Pizza sauce is a name brand and at the dollar tree.  Freeze it on ice cube tray and dump it onto a quart zip lock for the freezer.   
3. Pork chops w dressing uses bread stuffing from the grocery outlet for a quarter.   Add chicken stock, apple and Craisens.  Pork chops can be cooked in the insta pot.  Round it off with green beans and salad , 
4. Chicken burrito bowls are leftover chicken, rice, beans, black olives, sour cream . 
5. Tuna melts.  Salad, oven fries from scratch.  
6. Tacos with hard or soft shells purchased for a dollar.   Hamburger purchased for 2.44 and precooked for the freezer.  Pre cooking affords you the time to de fat the meat and saves time during the dinner hour.  Cheese was purchased for 2.50 a pound,  our buy or target price is two to 2.50 a pound.   Roma tomatoes have less seeds and give you more bang for your dollar.   
7. Breakfast for dinner is a mainstay family affair.
