Once a Month Cooking Update – Cost

So far, everything we’ve eaten from the OAMC freezer stash has been great!   I especially like the Orange Teriyaki pork chops.   The day I made those, not counting defrost time – dinner was made in SIX MINUTES!!!  I grilled the chops on my George Foreman while  The frozen burritos are super handy in the morning, too.

It’s taken a few days – but the realization just hit that I FORGOT to discuss the COST of the meals!  How did I do that?  **Face Palm**

I did my shopping at Sam’s Club, and bought most of the ingredients there.  I already had most of the spices on hand.  I spent $257 at Sam’s Club for all the meat, cheese, bread, tortillas, produce and eggs to cook these meals.  I spent another $25 or so at WalMart to buy the refrigerated dough, canned beans, some Mrs. Dash seasoning and pizza sauce.  I still have a ton of cheese and beef leftover.   I over-bought the ground beef by about 8 pounds!

I’m thinking of doing another cooking day real soon – I think I try my own plan though, and whip up some of our family favorites.
