I thought we might talk about four people, one meal five bucks and go through the process of pre shopping.
Take a piece of computer paper. Divide it in four. Place the name of each grocery store add at the top of the page.
Go through the adds and write anything that you eat that is a good buy.
86 the pre made, high priced garbage.
Then go through and cross of anything that is a cheaper price elsewhere, or that you already have enough of.
Make meals from your stock on hand and what you bought.
1) Sirloin Tip Roast, mashed potatoes, fruit salad, Broccoli
2) Roast Beef A Jus sandwiches, green salad with grapes, apple, and walnuts .
raspberry vinegrette.
3) Chicken drumsticks, coleslaw, oven baked steak fries.
4) Mac and Cheese, Broccolli
5) spareribs, corn of the cob, coleslaw , beer bread
6) Quiche, designer lettuce salad with strawberries.
7) Shrimp stir fry. rice. ( brocolli, carrots, celery, red peppers, )
Notes: Shrimp is 5 bucks a pound at Safeways.
If you pick a protein that is less than 2.50 a pound (average) and don't buy expensive side dishes, you can pretty much figure on spending less than five dollars average.
The roast and the shrimp costs are being tempered by the quiche, mac and cheese, and the chicken.
