Tonight, I made home made mac n cheese. Usually, the box that costs $2.50+ (the “deluxe” kind), barely feeds the 4 of us in our family, and my oldest daughter despises the taste of it. So, just for fun, I calculated tonight’s cost. It was $6.83, fed all four of us, my oldest daughter really liked it, and I was able to make a large dish of it for my friend who had surgery yesterday and has a family of 5, plus, had some pasta left over to make into something tomorrow night or the next night. It was $2 for 2 lbs of pasta, about $1 for the 4 cups of milk, $.50 for the butter, $.33 for the cream cheese, and the most expensive part was the shredded cheese…about $3.00. I made my breadcrumbs from old heels that no one here eats anyway, so I considered those free. Pretty cool, for me!
Woohoo! Good for you Charmaine! It really is way cheaper to cook meals from scratch and they are healthier too. 🙂
