Super Cheap Meals

With about a week and a half before we move out, we have been working diligently on "eating down" our food supply so we can both save some money and limit the amount of stuff we have to give away before we move. Needless to say, the meals are getting a bit boring but I have also noticed that eating this kind of simple, cheap food, we can basically eat for less than a dollar per meal. Here's what we have been eating lately:

Breakfast:
--two eggs (hard boiled or fried), two pieces of toast, an apple or banana (about 70 cents total!)
--breakfast burrito (tortilla, refried beans, scrambled egg, tomato, onion) (about 60 cents total!)
--2 pancakes, 2 eggs (about 40 cents total!)
--oatmeal with milk and cinnamon, apple or banana (about 70 cents total!)

Lunch:
--tuna sandwich, carrot sticks, oatmeal cookies (about $1)
--grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, pear (about $1)
--homemade vegetable soup, salad (about $1)
--homemade chili, rice, raw vegies (about $1)

Dinner:
--salmon, cous cous, salad
--baked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, frozen vegies
--sweet and sour meatballs, rice, tomato and cucumber salad
--spaghetti, salad, garlic bread

Most of the stuff we have been eating is from the freezer and pantry augmented with fresh eggs, fruit, and vegetables. This has been a great way to save money since we aren't running to the grocery store and making a haul each week and we have been able to eat quite a few things that had been previously pushed to the back of the pantry.
