[quote=Anonymous]Tjs here is cheaper in general than Safeway, so:

2 bags tjs spinach---$4
3 doz eggs----$5.40
2 boxes pasta---$3
1 jar super cheap pasta sauce---$1.79
1 lb cheap ground beef---$2.70
2 bags frz broccoli---$3
1 jar peanut butter. $3
1loaf bread---$3, and you can get it cheaper at Safeway, but this is real bread and tastes much better
1 gallon milk---$3
1 can cheap coffee, here or Safeway. I think the ground stuff is cheaper there but you can get a pound of beans for $4 here. 
A bag of carrots. If you like carrot sticks, buy 2

Then you go to Safeway. 
Whatever yogurts are on super cheap sale, buy one for each day:  I got them for 50 cents at Kroger. 
Buy a roasting chicken. You might hit the jackpot and get a short dated one, if not, they're $1.69 cents a pound. 
Buy rice here. It's way cheaper
Also buy 2 onions. 
If you have money, buy Parmesan cheese and something chocolate in individual pieces.

Now:  put the chicken in a pan and roast it. Sprinkle it with garlic salt or salt and pepper, roast at 350 for 18 min a pound. Put a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pan so it doesn't burn. Save the giblets.

Divide the hamburger in half. Dice an onion fine, mix about a quarter of it in with half the hamburg, a crumbled slice of bread, salt pepper and an egg. Makes 2-3 patties. Freeze. 
Brown the onion and the other half the hamburg. This goes in the cheap pasta sauce for two nights of spaghetti.

When the chicken is done, have a thigh and a wing for dinner. Eat the skin, it's crispy and delicious. Put the rest of the chicken in the frig til it's cold, add water to the land and get all that goodness out. Pour it into a stockpot and put it in the frig. Tomorrow, you are going to slice the chicken breast thin for sandwiches, carve the wing, 2 legs and thigh off for 2 more meals, and put the rest of the carcass in the stockpot with all the skin and the wingtips and some carrots to make soup. You will add the giblets to this and cook for several hours, let cool and pick the meat off the carcass and add to the soup.

Breakfast is eggs and toast, lunches either chicken or pb&j sandwiches with yogurt. [/quote]
