[quote=Anonymous]I cook, have a well-stocked pantry, and while I haven't reached the "don't rely on recipes" strategy yet, I have many different meals I can make, many of which use one or more similar ingredients. So, for example, when I make Turkey Burgers from MS's Everyday Foods, I need five ingredients: Ground turkey (1+ lb package $6) Scallions ($1) Breadcrumbs Garlic Gruyere cheese ($6) Mustard and Mayo ($1) Then for sides I add: Rice Spinach ($3) So let's round up and call it $20 for this dinner. It feeds 3 adults, and 3 picky children. Sometimes there's lunch for 1 adult the next day. Conservatively, this meal costs $4 (rounding up again) per person. I use the gruyere for another recipe that everyone eats. The scallions, though, do go to waste. I'm working on that. Fried rice is next on my list.[/quote]
