We are moving into a new place, and money is tight. I had $11.61 to my name & needed something to feed the family. So off to the store I went in hope to find something to feed everyone. I went to my local grocery store, (Pathmark). Much to my suprise, dinner only cost me $6.68, and I was still able to stop at the grocery store to pick up sodas!
Dinner for 4: Cream of Mushroom chicken, grean beans & corn.
From Pathmark:
4 chicken leg quarters - $3.50
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup - $1.39.
1 pound of fresh green beans - $1.79
total: $6.68
From Dollar Store:
1 bottle of Cola - $1.00
1 bottle of Root Beer - $1.00
1 can of corn - $0.79
total: $2.79
TOTAL COST OF DINNER FOR FOUR: a whopping $9.47!!
Feel free to throw anything you have at home into this meal. I happened to have classic pasta salad, and a few potatoes that I cooked up as well.
Mushroom Chicken Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350*
Mix cream of mushroom soup in water. Add chicken to it.
Cook for about 45 mins.
Happy Budgeting!
