Today has been a weird day. I did a lot of deep cleaning and then mowed most of the backyard. Because of that I hadn't really planned the sides for ddinner so tonight is a little thrown together and kind of a lazy dinner. We are having homemade parmesean chicken fingers (not so lazy) , Idahoan instant potatoes(lazy) and a Dole Bacon and Bleu salad(also lazy).
Anyway. Here is the breakdown.
-One pound chicken $3.75
-Parmesean breading $1.25
-Two bags fully loaded Idahoan instant potatoes $2.00
-Dole Salad $2.50
-Butter and additional seasonings $0.50
Total for tonight's dinner for two is $10.00
That's what is going on here, what are you having?

5 bucks? Getting pretty expensive to dine at your place.

Ham and cheese is usually lunch around here unless we have tomato soup and I grill them.

@thislittlepennyearns No. I don't need it every night. I can get away with it when my husband isn't around.

Those sound good too. I like these salad kits cause they have kale in them and I love kale. I also love spinach.
