Can you eat for a week on just $50?
Breaking it down by the day, that’s about $7.14 per day or $2.38 per meal.
Here’s dinner for day 2: Chicken Fried Steak w/Cream Gravy & Mixed Veggies. Chicken Fried Steak is one of my favorites meals, it’s comfort food deliciousness! The steak was prepared with just a little olive oil and the veggies were heated up using a tab of butter and I wanted a little carmelization on those. The ‘gravy’ was a cheat, I opened up a can of cream of chicken soup, added a touch of milk, garlic powder and fresh ground black pepper. The combo of the steak, gravy and veggies made for a great comfort food bite! This meal cost me about $3.00 to prepare and that included an adult beverage with the meal. TIP: Do you have any cream soups in your pantry?
Meal totals for the day:
Breakfast: $1.75Lunch: $2.15
Dinner: $3.00
Cumulative total for the Challenge:
Day 1: $7.25 Day 2: $6.90
Grand Total: $14.15 so far and on budget! Holding off on the Ramen….. for now….
$50 to eat for a week, are you up for the challenge?
