I really do need to figure out the whole picture from the phone to the blog thing. I did post the picture of part of tonight's dinner to my other blog: http://www.wannabecheapskate.blogger.com/.
We are having barbeque pork sandwiches on wheat-white hamburger buns (homemade, 2/3 wheat, 1/3 white flour) with pasta tossed with butter and garlic. Super yummy.
The barbeque pork came from a tub -- can't take any credit here. I just microwaved it. Of course, I bought it on sale, as I did the pasta.
Here's a general run-down on the price, but I'll admit to having to estimate several items:
1 batch hamburger buns: $1.50 (I tried to overestimate on the cost of the ingredients so that it doesn't seem like I'm making up numbers. I really do have some mathematical values in place.)
1 tub of barbeque pork: $1.75 (I might be tempted to break out a second tub since the bread is so fresh and good.)
1/2 box Barilla Piccolini pasta -- $.08
Butter -- $.15
Total cost for this dinner -- $3.48. This made 10 buns and enough meat (according to the tub) for 5 sandwiches. If I double the meat to match the meat, this meal would cost just $5.45 to feed up to 10. (I doubled the amount for pasta and butter, too.) What a deal!
