Tuesday Dinner

The Kid has the flu this week, so last night's and tonight's dinner were "by request." (Seriously, I have a kid who requests things like spinach salads with gorgonzola. That tickles me to no end.)

So, to please my sick kid tonight, I made breakfast - Bacon, Egg & Cheese biscuits, hash browns, mixed fruit, and OJ. Under normal circumstances, this is a very economical meal. With all the deals lately, it was downright thrifty. The bacon, eggs and OJ came from Lowes Foods latest eSavings offer - .99 for the bacon, .39 for a dozen eggs and .99 for the juice. The cheese was left over from a Harris Teeter meal deal, so I'll just consider it free. The Grands biscuits and Simply Potatoes hash browns were both purchased BOGO with a $1 coupon that doubled. And the jar of Dole mixed fruit was a fraction of its original price after triple coupons.

Totals:

.20 - 6 eggs
.50 - 1/2 package bacon
.33 - biscuits
free - cheese
.40 - hash browns
.33 - 1/3 carton OJ
.50 - mixed fruit

$2.26 for dinner for 3, with 2 Bacon, Egg & Cheese biscuits left over
