Dinner for 3, $5

There's nothing I love more than a good challenge and feeding my family for less than $5 is right up my alley of fun games!

We had whole grain spaghetti ($1.09 for the box) for dinner tonight, with store brand traditional marinara sauce ($0.89), head of romaine lettuce ($0.60)... we used salad dressing we already had. And we made sausage meatballs ($2.99 for the pound of sausage but it made enough for two meals, so a cost here of $1.50). 

Making the grand total of the meal for three $4.08 plus tax (and plus whatever the small cost of the dressing, salt/ pepper and garlic we already had on hand... so less than $5 total).  Go us!!  Healthy-ish and economical!  And we actually have leftovers too so it's really a win, win, win!!!
