$5.00 Dinner Menu

This week's menu is a little heavy with Mexican food and a few meals are over my goal of $5.00, but it's okay. The point of $5 dollar dinners to me is to set a target so that you don't end up making $25 dollar dinners all the time! I calculate how much I spent on the main ingredients of the meal, I do not calculate smaller ingredients like spices. How much does a teaspoon of ground cumin cost anyway??

Sunday -- South of the Border Enchiladas $5.50

Monday -- Spaghetti Broccoli Bake with Corn on the Cob $3.85

Tuesday -- Quick Bean Quesadillas $3.25

Wednesday -- Veggies, mac n cheese from a box, baked beans, canned biscuits $2.50

Thursday --- Mexican Lasagna $6.00

Friday -- Crock Pot Falafel $3.00

Saturday -- Mexican Pasta Shells $5.25
