Inexpensive Meals: BBQ sandwich $0.94 a serving!

Here is an inexpensive meal idea for you! Find the breakdown below.

BBQ pulled pork sandwiches:

Pork Butt: $1.77/lb. Ours came to $6.85 for almost 4 lbs.
Garlic: 1/3 head of garlic. We paid $0.38 a head, so about $0.13 for this recipe.
Onion: We used 1 onion which was $0.50.
BBQ Sauce: We use 36 oz of BBQ sauce. We can get 2 - 18 oz. bottles for $1 each. This comes out to $2 total.
Buns: We buy a 24 pack of buns at Costco for $3.50. For this recipe, we will use 12, so that is a total of $1.75.

All in all, we can get 12 sandwiches for $11.23. That comes out to just $0.94 a sandwich!

Sometimes we also have a can of corn or green beans for the 2 of us. Our grocery store has green beans for $0.33 a can and corn for $0.66 a can. If we figure that into our cost, the entire meal is $1.10-$1.27 each!


I will be sharing more meal ideas as we cook them.
