A lot of simple meals this past week. Vegetables were treated very simply, either sauteed or in a salad. Main dishes were quick and easy, with the exception of the spaghetti and meatballs.
The super cheap supper was on Sunday night. My family and I calculated that it cost about 20 cents for 5 of us. It will be hard to do a repeat of that though. But most of our suppers were in the $2 to $3 range, feeding 5 of us.
