Tuesday Dinner

Tonight's dinner was about as close to free as I'll probably get. I made big spinach salads with the spinach my sister gave us, sliced up leftover London broil from Sunday, cherry tomatoes from my garden, croutons that were free after double coupons, and dressing I think I paid 50 cents a bottle for. The only things I bought specifically for tonight's dinner were a tub of gorgonzola cheese crumbles to go on the salad, and a good loaf of crusty bread to round out the meal.

Totals:

free - spinach
free - leftover London broil (accounted for in Sunday's totals)
free - cherry tomatoes from garden
free - croutons
.10 - dressing
.50 - gorgonzola cheese (about 1/4 of $1.99 tub from Aldi)
$1.25 - crusty bread (about 1/2 of $2.50 loaf from Harris Teeter)

$1.85 for dinner for 3

Note: Costco has a great price on enormous bags of spinach for salads - if you can use it all up before it goes bad. My sister can't, which is why she shares with us. Otherwise, Aldi has smaller bags of brand-name washed spinach for $1.99 - the best price I've found.
