Expensive and Free

What a weird title huh?!

Last nights dinner was a bit on the expensive side. We had steaks and corn on the cob.

Steaks were $7.75 and corn I'm estimating maybe $1.25 since we used about half a bag.

$9 total.

Tonight we are having leftover soup. Since I added the entire total in my last post I'm putting this down as FREE! YAY!

New Recipe

We tried a new recipe tonight for cheesy veggie soup. It made such a HUGE batch of soup. I have several containers left of it that I froze and some saved for lunch. Its expensive by the whole but when I use it up as leftovers it will help the cost.

California Veggies~$1.19
4 Bouillon Cubes~50¢ (??)
Velveeta (store brand) $3.99
2 cr. of mushroom soups~98¢
