What's the last thing you ate and how much did it cost?

[CRFSaver]

Steamed Shrimp with drawn butter and a small NY strip on the grill. maybe 7-10 bucks.

A whole bunch of stuff at a party last night including meat balls, rice, corn bread, etc. and it cost me nothing!

Crock pot hamburger potato mix with mushroom soup. Probably about $5 for both my dh and me. Ice tea I made with tea bags, at less than 30 cents a glass. And leftover cornbread.

Does reading all these different posts make anyone hungry?

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I thought this would help me, but reading all the entries is just making me hungrier! A bowl of cereal with bananas and coffee. Under $1

hamburger and pasta with sauce with garlic rolls. About $7.50 at a restaurant and yes, this makes me hungry.

WW pasta with a bag of frozen roasted potato mix, some sour cream chips and a glass of sierra mist...around 2.00.
I'm getting all sorts of ideas around here!!

i am currently sucking on a vanilla lolly pop from sees candy. Before that it was pizza from last night and yogurt for lunch.

Just had a PB&J on a hard roll and water.

The roll was free as was the jelly and water. The Peanut Butter came from an 18 oz jar that cost 99 cents. I had about 1/20th of the jar. So I would guess my lunch cost 5 cents.

How do you count the cost of leftovers? We had a deli tray and a veggie tray for New Years (super coupon deal), then leftovers Monday - grilled sandwiches, Tuesday - open face hot beef and mushroom sandwiches with free gravy mix, Wednesday - broccoli mushroom swiss quiche and a ham and cheese quiche. Tomorrow, stir fry of veggies and some of the meat; Friday, remaing deli turkey is going into fresh manicotti using up the nonfat ricotta from the dips, or else turkey divan with any remaining broccoli. Some leftovers may be frozen for soups. All repurposed (leftovers).

I ate sugar free m&m's, about 50 cents worth!

[abowers]

Bagel sandwich.

Bagel: $.55
couple slices of Turkey: $.75 of turkey (5.99/lb, maybe used 2-3oz of turkey?)
1 Slice of Swiss Cheese (bought 1/4lb for less than $2?)

Large cup of coffee, made at my apartment. (Super cheap, $6.99/pound)... I don't know how much that translates to for two cups of coffee.

1/4 pounder with cheese and small fry med diet coke and about $2.00 in gas to go get it
the 3000 calories that ended up around my thighs and hips,,price $7.00 and an extra walk around my neighborhood

[PieceofCake]

A peanut butter sandwich made with two slices of homemade bread (potato water instead of milk) a couple of tablespoons of 99 cent peanut butter (18 oz jar), free diet margarine and a free beer. Cost, maybe 10 cents

[Ima saver]

Acouple of pieces of sugar free candy, maybe 20 cents worth. The sugar free stuff is expensive.

Last night I had pasta and ground beef 50% & TVP 50% tomato base dish.
75c and bowl of mushroom soup 40c and paddle pop ice block 39c about $1.54 total

I had the leftovers from my husband's dinner last night. He got chicken salad for $7.50 and never can eat all the chicken. I got a burger and pasta for my dinner and I bring it home for my dog to eat.

Burritos:

1/2 pack soy crumbles - $1.25
Homemade salsa from my mom - free
Cheese - about $.50 maybe?
Spanish style rice - can't remember, but we bought a box of it at Trader Joe's. Maybe about $2.50? I don't know. (We have half leftover, so let's say $1.25.)
Half can of refried beans - couldn't be more than about $.50
4 tortillas- probably about $1

Baby spinach (organic) - entire bag cost about $4 I think. We had less than a fourth of the bag. Call it $.75.

Water with lemon slices - lemon was free

I never really have exact figures for these things, but this is close. Comes to about $5.25 for the three of us. No dessert this evening, but I may go make some mint hot chocolate in a bit - yum.

I stopped at the coffee shop before work this morning and got 1 large coffee and a muffin - $2.46
