Our daily totals over the weekend were great, or at least mine were. I think the big guy went over a little on Saturday because he didn't take a lunch to work. But the reason we did so well is because we didn't eat at home much; we ate at other people's houses. Saturday we ate with the in-laws and Sunday we ate corned beef with my family. I love corned beef.
The moral of the story is, if you eat at someone else's house, it costs you nothing.
I have not gotten the big guy's total for yesterday, but mine was $4.13. We had a super cheap and wonderful dinner last night. Here's the break-down:
Chicken leg quarters, BOGO at Winn-Dixie, roasted with citrus grill seasoning = $1.12 per quarter
Red potatoes, chopped and sauteed with rosemary and parsley = $.13 per serving
Head of broccoli, steamed and drizzled with Italian dressing = $.25 per serving
Grand total = $1.50 per serving
By the way, last week at the farmer's market, I bought the brocolli for $1.00. So if you're a broccoli-eater, that's the place to get it. But I think the deal of the day was on the herbs I bought. I got giant clumps of parsley, dill, and cilantro for $.50 each. The farmer's market is a magical place.
