I've sort of fallen off the wagon...

I am still fine tuning my eight dollar dinners. Works just kept me very busy so I haven't had time to really cook or blog about it. I have still been keeping up with my eight dollar dinners but in a more mass cooking style.  I made a pot of chili last week that fed Eric and I for a 5 days. It was the same chili I posted about before but on a larger scale. The orginal purchase went way over my budget it was about $28.00 but it fed two people for quiet a while panning out to about $4.80 a day.

This experiement has really helped me see what I spend my money on. I am also more conscious of what I buy and how much and if it can be used for other meals. 

$19.10 = 3 days, 2 dinners for 2 adults

Yes I went over my budget. but if I could make it last for 2 or more days I could adjust my budget accordingly. So I decided since I was going out of town, and had a busy week that chili would be perfect.  Eric and I headed to the grocery store to pick up supplies, ground turkey, beans, sour cream, an onion, tomatoes, cheese and the necessary fritos.  All in all it came out really well. Chili is such a fast thing to I forgot to take a picture I was so hungry to eat it. I continued to forget every day too. I am a big fan of chili. I did find a picture that looks kinda like mine.
