A delicious and frugal steak dinner

Tweet

Every Saturday, with a few exceptions, is dining out day for hubby and I. Instead of having dinner at home, after hubby comes home from work, we go out to eat. This past Saturday hubby called me to let me know that he will be attending a fraternity event and that he will not be coming home after work as it doesn't make sense. I thought of coming to where he will be so we can go eat somewhere before he has to go to this event but if we did that he'd be late to the gathering. So, that was out of the question as well. I was gonna be eating dinner without him. I have no problem dining out somewhere alone. Done it many times in the past. Though sometimes it's a bit sad when everyone else in the restaurant is with someone and I am sitting alone. At first I thought of going somewhere for dinner but as I wasn't in a happy mood after finding out hubby won't be spending the evening with me, I decided to go home and eat there. There was nothing to eat at home so I decided to get some steak and mushrooms at my local supermarket. I bought a porterhouse steak and crimini mushrooms for my entree and a lemon poppy seed muffin for dessert. All three items were actually on sale. It turned out to be a delicious dinner and it cost me under $15. Had I gone to a steakhouse for a porterhouse steak I would have spent probably close to $60.
