So I multiplied US$25 by 90 to

I can cook alot of meals for under $25. In fact i do all the time. here's one just off the top of my head. meat loaf w/potatoes & carrots cooked around it. green been casserole & a salad with lots' of good stuff in it. Ur pork chops sounds good. Happy thurs. to u.

Most of the meals I cook for my family of 7 cost between $10 and $20. A $25 meal would be splurging a lot!! First, I buy all my meat at the wholesale club. I can get a large pork loin for $20, and that can get me 3 or 4 meals. I'll do pork chops, a pork roast, pulled pork, or cube it up and mix with rice. I can also buy a large package of chicken for only $10 and that will get us 2 or 3 meals depending on how I use it. Ground beef for $10 gets 2 or 3 meals. Steaks and pot roasts are different, those are usually $10 and only get 1 meal, then I have to buy sides and veggies. I buy bags of frozen veggies at the wholesale club, each bag is around $5 and one bag can get me through a week. I put enough for the family into a steamer, and voila! I tend to buy packaged side dishes a lot, instant mashed potatoes, instant flavored rice, flavored noodles, boxed stuffing, etc etc. I do this to save myself time and money. Buying all the ingredients to make cheddar rice would be more expensive than buying $3 worth of packages of cheddar rice! But there are a few things I can do very cheaply if I had to do it from scratch. Not to mention most of my meals do leave left overs, which I'll have for lunch the next day, or a midnight snack. Most of my grocery money is spent on soda and snacks!!

I'm in the US. And i would make similar dishes as yourself. Like tonight I'm probably going use up about 3 cups of left over rice, teriyaki (sp?) stir fry kit ($4, and includes a vast variety of veggies & some noodles), half a pkg of frozen broccoli (.65 cents), soy sauce, $2 for a chuck steak on sale (that I"ll cut into cubes & put w/ the kit) & then milk for the drink. I would say I'd come in under $10 for my family... However my kids are small so they don't have those big tween - teenager appetites yet so I can get away with smaller amounts. BUT if I do the above and double it, it would still make it under the $25. That's one thing they never mention, a recipie is so many servings but servings for who??....... 4 adult? 2 adult 2 young kids? 2 adults 3 older kids? 1 adult 3 kids ect.... And they all have varying appetites.

Can I come by for dinner? Depends on how much time I have, but maybe chicken soup or a nice beef stew if I had time. If I didn't, sloppy joes with lots of chopped up veggies sneaked in.

I don't cook, but I would have to say that I would have a cup of rice, some veggies that were bought cheap from a produce stand... and some frozen pork tenderloin or something like that... I think that could be under $25.00. Tonight was mine and my husband's first night of buying groceries for us and his parents... We've bought things for ourselves before, but not like grocery shopping... It was an experience, and I loved it. I can't wait to pay for our own food for our own house, etc. I have so many ideas floating around in my head to make meals...

well, $25 = rupees 1400 :) well, i can make a hell lot things with $25. i think i will start with the corns. i think you need corns in the first meal, it is vey healthy and nutritious. then i think how about an egg. i think boiled egg, 4 of them will be good, then after that if you have space in your tummy then i will give you the indian special :) dal and roti. it will complete your meal and it will take less than $10 to make.

$25 converted to our currency is Php1200. That's already one weeks grocery of meat and vegetables here hehehe. I live in a house with my parents a cousin and her son so all in all we are 5 adults and 2 kids. $25 here is already a big sum of money so if i'll be cooking with that amount of money for one dinner, then it would be a FIESTA! hehehe

I would have a salad with lettuce, tomato, salami, and mozzarella cheese. And then a simple spaghetti with sauce. I even learned a way of making a homemade topping really inexpensive with the pasta and it cooks in the same time as the pasta. First put your pasta on to boil. Then put oil in a pan, and peel a couple of tomatoes. Put the tomatoes in the heated oil. It will only take about 3 minutes to cook. Then add fresh basil. The tomatoes will be done at the same time as the pasta, even with peeling time. Drain the pasta, and top with the tomato/basil sauce. Add your preferred cheese, mozzarella or provolone and stir. The cheese will melt for a delicious dish!

Wow......that's alot of money to spend on one family of four!!! I used to cook meals that calculated out to be under five bucks....Like this hotdish..peel and cut up potatoes like for scallped potatoes...put them in a roaster...add a can of corn....a pound of hamburger browned....a can of mushroom soup and a half a can of milk...top off with about a cup of cubed cheese...serve with a nice crisp salad with cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes on it....with some nice warm rolls..and for dessert an apple crisp...now that is a meal for under ten buck probably...maybe with the apples just over....but twenty five bucks can go a long way!

I live in the US, but I don't think that would be that much of a challenge. I simply would make something with chicken or perhaps pork chops, or a tofu stirfry. It is iseasy to make things that are not expensive if you have a good recipe and you know what you are doing.

Vegetables here in our place is relatively cheap... With that $25 amount I can feed at least 15 people, all adults.

I am born in China,so i'll eat to "si chuan huo guo " for under US25$ in my coutry.It's very beautiful ,it have an other name for "chuan wei".
