Last night we had tacos, refried beans and Spanish rice. I made the tacos from a kit that. Got st grocery outlet for a buck. That was less than the cost of the taco shells. It had the seasoning and the taco sauce.
Hambirger 100
Taco shells 1.00
Rice .15
Salsa. .50
Refried beans. .88
Cheese , lettuce, tomato. .50+ .75
Some of this is guesstimate. It's really hard to price minuscule amounts of things. 4.78 and that was five of us and there was leftovers of rice.
Tonight we are going to have BBQ chicken thighs, French fries and a salad.
Thighs 1/4 of a whole chicken. 1.25

Total 3.25

It's not hard to keep a meal for four people under 5.00 if you are diligent at finding protein sources that are under two dollars a pound. By averaging , you can have a more expensive cut of meat sometimes.
