Not really a post

I'm trying not to jump ahead to things that will be covered later on in the class. I don't want to overload anyone with info. So I'll just post a couple of random things. Hahaha....let me rephase that. I don't want to overload the Paul family and Nic with info - my faithful readers! :D

Did I tell you that the BBQ chicken sandwiches were delicious? They were! For $10, we ended up making two dinners out of it. We bought chicken, bbq sauce, buns, and fries. $10 at a fast food restaurant would have bought one meal for us and would not have been half as good. Eating out is such a money waster! This is not even a really good example of how to save money on food.

One excellent example of a meal with low cost is beans and rice. Red beans or black beans, either one. You'll hear Dave talk about this. While we were getting rid of our consumer debt, we ate a lot of beans and rice. You could not pay me to eat them now. Well, you would have to pay me a lot to eat them now. I know that they are good and tasty, but we were eating them 2 sometimes 3 times a week and now I can't stand to think of eating them anymore. We originally had planned to make them for lunch for you all on a Sunday......but the thought of them makes me shudder just a little bit and I don't know if I will be able to bring them. I guess we could still do it and you all could eat that while Nic and I munched on a sandwhich! :D WE shall see - I don't really want to even smell them anymore! We still have two boxes in our pantry and I know we will not eat them. I should bring them on Sunday! I actually wrote all of this to encourage you to try eating them or something equally inexpensive once a week, but I realize now that I probably did not do a very good job of encouraging you. But seriously! Try it! It will do wonders for your food budget.

We definately should bring recipes one Sunday with fast easy and cheap meal ideas. Everyone could contribute.

Well, that's all for now. Have a great night and I'll see you Sunday!
