Today, our lunch (except for the milk) involved all couponed items. The meal also proves that you don't have to eat superbizarro processed food even while you rely heavily on coupons. Turns out, coupons can buy you fiber and nutrients.
In a toaster oven, I heated these two together:
- 1/3 bag frozen squash, ~$0.17 - purchased for $0.50 after tripled coupon at Shopper's Food Warehouse (SFW)
- 1 can Progresso black bean soup, bought 'free' during a 10/$10 sale at Giant with a $1.10 off printable coupon
- 1 single-serve cup of Minute Maid brown rice ($0.30)
Meanwhile, I kept the toaster oven hot (450) and made a quasi-flatbread. I mixed:
- 1/2 c. Heart Healthy Bisquick, ~$0.15 worth - box bought for $1.20 after tripled coupons at Bloom
- 1 packet Quaker instant maple brown sugar oatmeal, ~$0.15/ea ($1.50 for the box of 10 after doubled coupons at SFW)
- 1/3 c. milk, ~$0.15 or less.
Total estimated meal cost:
$0.92
