Spaghetti Biscuit Cups

This meal cost me less than $1 for my whole family! Now let me start by saying - half of it was left overs from sweet Nana giving us the spaghetti sauce and salad. I had a can of Grands Layers Biscuits that I peeled in half and put in muffin tins (makes 16 total), that was $.30 with a coupon. I pressed the half biscuits down in the cup - added a heaping spoonful of sauce and topped it with cheese. The Betty Crocker Garlic and Herb Pouch potatoes were $.10 with a coupon, the croutons were $.29 with a coupon, the Salad Spritzer was FREE with a coupon, and voila, a fabulous meal for under $1. Leftovers never tasted SSOOOO good!

Sour Cream Savvy

I was able to get sour cream for $.40 with my coupons (doubled at HT) and did a little stockpiling. No the picture is not upside down, they store for longer that way! (I have yet to find a site that says that sour cream freezes well) In searching for some different recipes, I was hungry...don't we all get that way when we see those yummy pictures on the screen or in the book? I wanted to make chicken spaghetti for dinner but did not have any sauce. I did not give up! I had some tomato bisque soup, lots of seasonings, sour cream, and a bag of shredded cheese. The color was interesting, it reminded me of vodka sauce (w/o the vodka) and voila, a new recipe. I was concerned with dh liking it - him not being a huge fan of sour cream. I asked him to finish his first plate before I told him what was in it. He hesitantly agreed, but ate heartily. I told him what it was, and he said he liked it. I asked it if he liked it enough to eat it again...his answer was YES. I scored a new recipe with using sour cream!!! What recipes do you have?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

My meal consisted of 2 cans tomato bisque soup ($.50 each)

on-hand seasonings

chicken ($2 worth from a BOGO frozen bag)

bag of cheese ($1.25), sour cream ($.40)

parmesan cheese ($.25 worth)

croutons($.29 for bag-which WAS EMPTY by the end of the meal)

salad ($.50 worth)

spritzer dressing (FREE)

garlic bread ($.50 worth)

= My WHOLE family meal was under $7 total and we had enough sauce to freeze for another meal...not too bad!

Crazy for Croutons

OK, yes there are WAAAAY to many croutons in this picture. Texas Toast Croutons go like a bag of chips in our house of 6 - once they are opened, they will be finished by the end of the night! Even our non-salad eaters will have these as a side dish. All purchased for $.29 each. I ordered the coupons on EBAY (2 batches of 20) and prayed that they would go on sale before they expired! The last week they were listed as an unadvertised sale that I picked up from my membership to thegrocerygame.com. I was dancing around the house and emptying the cupboards. Now, there are MANY ways to use croutons. My favorite is Chicken Linn and substitute the croutons for the Ritz cracker crust. Yummo...how would you use the croutons?
