MEAL FOR 4 PEOPLE ON A $5 BUDGET

Most people may would say that it is impossible to make a $5 meal to feed a family of 4 people. I wanted to challenge myself and also prove to those who belive that it cannot be done. I am going to show you how I was able to do so with no coupons.

The ingredients for my $5 meal are:

1 Box of Jiffy Cornmeal Mix

1 Bag of long grain rice

1 Can of sweet peas

1 pack of chicken breasts

This was my total for these groceries:

My total without the apple juice summed up to $4.58

I also saved $1 on the 4 chicken breasts which were originally $3.21

These groceries were purchased at one of my local grocery

stores called Aldi

I cooked a full dinner for 4 people with my $5 groceries

I was able to cook rice with sweet peas, some cornbread and some

baked chicken

The extra ingredients are ingredients found in your kitchen and

refrigerator

Milk

1 Egg

A few dry seasonings and bell pepper or you have the option of just

using your salt and pepper

Some vinegar or a lime for the chicken

It is possible to feed a family of 4 with a $5 budget

Question of the day:

Can you make a full meal on a $5 Budget ?
