If I have my seasonings, I can do a pot of chili that would feed about 8 and do some grilled cheese also.

This is easy... Our average dinner runs under $10 for three or even four when my daughter is home.

$8.74 of 1.5lbs ground beef, taco kit, garden peppers and tomatoes. Should be around $15-$20.

Also, don’t know how big the kids are but spaghetti., canned chicken enchiladas, canned tuna burgers.

One pound ground meat, taco shells or tortillas, seasoning, cheese. Getting close to $20
How?

A taco kit is like $3-4, a bag of cheese is around $3. You’re spending $13 on one pound of meat?

$20 worth of jambalaya could feed my family of 5 for 2 days.

I could feed 5 on $10 with chicken thighs and [whatever].
