My father-in-law recently passed. When he was alive and I was able to, I would cook for him, my MIL and hubby and we both got a kick out of seeing how cheap I could cook a good dinner for 4 using quality ingredients.
Grilled tuna ($1.60 per steak bought at BJs)
baked potatoes ($.50 each with butter and sour cream)
and a salad (approx $.15 worth of lettuce each with home grown tomatoes, cukes and bell peppers grown in garden.)
=$9.00 dinner for 4 ($2.25 each)
Optional:
Chocolate icebox pie
graham cracker crust $1.00
cooked chocolate pudding (not instant) $2.00
Cool Whip $2.00
$.65 per slice
Brunswick stew with cornbread was usually less that $5.00 for a pot that would serve 4 people twice (8 good sized meals) or 4 people and 6 dogs once.
I miss my father-in-law.
that’s nice you miss your father in law. Lord rest his soul. Sounds like a GOOD MAN!
So sorry to hear about your father in law. Sounds like he was a wonderful man.
