Instead of my traditional ground pork I went with ground turkey at half the price. There is literally a 2:1 turkey:pasta ratio. The sauce is a heavily seasoned can of crushed tomatoes. Garlic knots have been hiding in the freezer forever and were free back when I got them.
Cost per person: $2.25
As much as Americans complain about the cost of food it is very inexpensive. A hundred years ago we were spending 30% of our income on food. Now it’s just 6%. But the trick is not eating out or getting delivery. Although Little Caesars pizza is hot and ready at $7 for two adults.
That’s so cheap!
