Day 7.1 and 2 and 3...

Also known as, 101 ways to use the chili recipe I posted the other day.

1. Chili in a mug with homemade rolls

2. Chili in a bowl with broken up tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese and lettuce as a salad.

3. Chili with scrambled eggs.

4. Chili with Fettucini and a little melted velveeta cheese.


So..basically from a recipe that cost approximately $10.00 to make. We have gotten four different types of meals and eaten at least 8 meals in total so far.

The $5.00 Challenge -

So I've talked about the fact that for the month of January, My hubby and I are trying to see how cheaply we can eat with no one meal costing more than $5.00, and spending no more than $5.00 if we go out to eat.

So we did a little grocery shopping the other day, and we got 8 bbq chicken leg quarters for $2.00 at Ingles.

so... I calculated the cost of what we ate for FOUR meals for both my husband and I:
Chicken - $2.00
Homemade Rolls - $.50(probably actually cost less to make)
Cheese - $.50
Chips - $.40
BBQ Sauce - $.10
Soda - $.50


--- Total cost for four meals for both : $4.00.
