Not much. These are the ingredients for crockpot chicken and dumplings, and salmon with a white wine Dijon sauce.
The grand total: $89.07
If we subtract the milk, one bottle of wine, cheese, and the peanut butter cups that brings us to $16/dinner if this last us 4 nights, $20/dinner if it only lasts 3 nights which is more likely. It is still cheaper than eating at a sit down restaurant, but that is a lot of money people. I would say culprit number one in this situation is the chicken. A bag of organic free range chicken breasts here goes for $22, and it only contains 4-5 chicken breasts. This is simply not sustainable for most families. Really, meat and seafood in general are what drives up the grocery bill it seems when buying organic. Since meat and seafood are two things I am absolutely not willing to buy if they are not free range/organic/grass fed etc, we are going to have to start looking for some vegetarian meal options.
So, there we go, moment of truth, buying organic is expensive. It may be time for Mrs. B to start clipping some coupons! Thank goodness we are saving money on my homemade cleaners!
