From kidaria 15 years ago
- 10-20 minutes to make
- Serves 2
One of my new years resolutions is to economize and eat more at home. I did this experiment where I bought the following groceries which came to $17.62 and turned it into 3 separate meals for 2 people. It came to $2. Read more 94 per person. I kid you not!! BTW: there are 2 servings of soup left for lunch tomorrow ; ) See less
