Tonight's Frugal Dinner - Chicken Soup! YUMMY!

Tonight's dinner was frugal & fabulous!  So yummy!  And, I am SO FULL!  



Most of what I prepared was bought on our recent trip to Save A Lot.  Remember this?

Soup ingredients:

2 lbs of chicken leg quarters (boiled & deboned)  $0.78
1/2 bag of fresh mini carrots   $0.60
1/2 bag of frozen corn   $0.60
1/2 bag of frozen cut green beans   $0.60
1/3 bag of frozen bell peppers & onions   $0.40
1 small bag of pinwheel pasta   $0.44
Salt, black pepper, & Italian seasoning

TOTAL COST FOR SOUP (2 meals): $3.42  TONIGHT'S COST FOR SOUP: $1.71

For bread, I toasted (in the oven) two plain bagels cut in half with butter & garlic powder!  Good stuff!  Tasted just like garlic bread!




TOTAL COST FOR 2 BAGELS:  $.56



And, then......there's dessert!  Lime Jello!  Yesterday, I used a Walgreen's in-store coupon & bought (5) Royal boxed jellos for $1.00.  ($0.20 each)

TOTAL COST FOR DESSERT:  $0.20









Jello is still waiting to be eaten.  We are so stuffed!  It will be our snack while watching evening TV.  


TOTAL COST FOR OUR MEAL TONIGHT: $2.47!!!!!  


Frugal, nutritious, delicious, and VERY filling!
