I feed a family of 7 adults. Two parents and 5 grown children, 4 boys and 1 girl. I do this for under $15 per meal...not per plate...per meal. I cook dinner before I leave for work each day, so that everyone is discouraged from eating out and hopefully saving money. I don't begrudge Erin's efforts, but after visiting her website, it wasn't much help for me.

Biggs recently started radio ads advertising $15 dinners and I'm thinking "Who on EARTH would think that's a good deal?!?" Ha Ha. Guess I've been pinching pennies so long I forgot how much things really cost when you don't coupon & stockpile... These $5 dinners are much more in-line with my “coupon mentality”.
