Last night we had sloppy joes, green beans and cheddar broccoli rice. Nothing fancy, but it’s what she child wanted. So thats what we had. He child was at a friends house so it was just four of us tonight. I figured I would do a frugal food because I haven’t done one in forever. So here’s the break down of the meal. I think we did pretty good. What did you have for dinner last night? 36 oz hamburger meat 7.87 divide by 2 = 3.93 Del monte fresh cut french style green beans 14.5 oz 1.48 Manwich 15 oz $1.36 Clover valley hamburger buns 1.50 Knorr cheddar broccoli rice 1.28 Used spme spices, milk that rice called for, water and butter. $0.75 10.31 Divided by 4 people $2.57 each person/serving.

You done good, but all of the prices for everything on your list were higher than I'd have paid. But I won't knock you. Just pointing it out, as per the usual. I did the math, and I'd have been around $2.27 per serving.

So do i, and generally thats what she child picks when given a choice. We're having meatloaf tonight I guess. That's what she said she wanted.

Not very hungry and had a sandwich and some fruit. I think I am still adjusting to the sudden heat
