This is great! Learnvest has put together a dinner grocery list for $27.42 for an entire weeks worth of dinners. Most of the prep work is completed on Sunday and then the rest of the food takes 10 minutes or less to cook each evening. How great is that!??!
Being that I'm expecting a little baby anyday, this might be the best solution for cooking meals for the next few weeks.
This week the main meat is pork. Then they have you roast veggies - Sunday prep is cooking the pork, roasting the veggies, cooking up some quinoa in advance and making pita chips. Really most of the work is done in the oven...just checking the food while it cooks..but by no means are YOU cooking food all day long...the oven is doing the work. Pretty fantastic.
So for 5 evening dinners - $27.42, 10 servings = $2.74 per dinner serving. That leaves us with $2.26 for the rest of the days meals per person. 2 organic eggs in the morning = $0.67; some oatmeal; sandwiches for lunch; a couple pieces of fruit or veggies... limiting the rest of the day to $2.26/person is very doable... You might even be able to do it for less, and save a buck a day/person. How great is that? Put that towards a going out budget - if you do that you deserve a nice night out!
This is a great resource and something I'm definitely gonna give a try. Maybe it will help me see how I can make my own menus and save lots of cashola! :)
