*I buy rice in bulk from Sam’s Club once a month. The cost per dinner works out to be $0.45.
*I don’t include the cost of staples that I keep on hand such as oil, spices, milk, soy sauce, etc.
*There are quite a few items I buy at Sam’s Club that will be used all month long- like sour cream and shredded cheese- so I don’t include them in my cost per meal breakdown but I do include them in my overall budget.
*Frozen chicken, frozen corn, sour cream, and shredded mexican cheese were included in last week’s cost breakdown.
