Lunch

Time for a supermarket roast chicken and that means wraps!

• The $9.99 colossal (large) chicken is broken into quarters, and 2/3 of one breast used for the wraps, or 83c per serve.
• The flatbread is 50c
• Hummus is $3.99 per container and we used about 1/6 or 33c per serve
• The edamame salad is $3.28 for four serves, or 82c per serve.

Lunch today cost $2.48.

Dinner

Foodie Greg was in the mood for something “eggy” so a ham and cheese frittata with peppers and parsley was on the menu. The trick to a good frittata is to finish it under a grill.

The recipe makes four serves

• 5 eggs in the dish is 1.25 eggs per serve or 63c per serve
• A bell pepper is 99c or 25c per serve
• A pint of half and half is $2.19 but only 4oz is used, or 14c per serve
• Diced ham was $2.99 a pack, or 75c per serve
• Add 15c for onion and parsley.

Dinner tonight cost $1.92 per serve.
