Pork Chops, Carrots, and Mashed Potatoes Budget Meal ($2.40/person)

Shopped at Publix: 7/24/2013

Boneless pork chops: on sale $3.99/lb till tonight. 4 per package. Total cost was $5.15. I simply covered them in Adobo and grilled on my Charbroil Infrared grill for about 10-15 minutes on med-high.

Carrots: $1.69 for the bag of mini carrots.  Normally I would have grabbed the $.89 a bag regular carrots but I was in a rush so I did not want to take the time to find my peeler since I just moved 3 weeks ago and to cut them. I used maybe 1/8 of the bag. Added a little brown sugar and 5 tsp of water, wrapped them in foil, and placed on the grill.

5 jumbo red potatoes: $1.49/lb = $4.57 total and there are tons left. Could have just used 2 jumbos but I am used to using the small ones. Washed, cubed, and boiled till fork tender then put in the kitchenaid with a little butter, crazy salt, and sour cream.

Cheap, easy, and healthy dinner!!!!

 $5.15

$1.69/8 = $ .21 portion used

($4.57/5)*2 = $1.83 portion used since I have left overs

= $7.19 total cost of items used / 3 people

= $2.40 per person!!!!
