Frugal dinner

August 11th, 2006 at 05:19 pm

It seems like when we stay home to save money, it cost us almost as much as going out. i guess that is because we like to cook steak on the grill and by the time we buy two steaks and charcoal, we have spent about $20.
That is about what we spend going out to eat at night.
Yesterday, I bought hamburger on sale for $2. We got free corn on the cobb and green beans given to us. I had some cottage cheese left over from the lasagna also. So our dinner last night cost us about $2, plus I have a hamburger left for my lunch today.

    Sounds like at least last night's dinner was frugal! Wink If you wanted to cut back on your food budget, I'm sure you know that you could. Have you tried to (do you even want to) cook once and eat twice? Make a double batch and freeze the second. That doesn't work well with steak though. Steak and shrimp are two things that I just really don't like reheating. Bleck!

    Great job Julie! I think it is super that you are making this effort to eat at home. I know its a pain just cooking for two, I think it makes it more challenging! And if you both like steak and it works, then great! Keep it up, you are as inspiring as ever!!

    Kristen, my husband does not like anything frozen. It is a throw back to when we lived in a travel trailer for a year and had no freezer. We had to buy everything fresh. Come to think of it, that means we went without ice cream for a year! wow!!!
