Rice Rice Baby….. ok, no more making you suffer through that.  Yes, it was rice for supper. However, I spiced it up a bit.  I added in 3 ounces of turkey from Sunday.  This was a nice change but it did effect my budget a bit.

Today we had a tasty Easter lunch with turkey, ham, scalloped potatoes, asparagus, gravy, and vegetables and rolls.  Half of this was free, and the other half we paid for.  I will total up what I paid for, and double it, or go to the cost of my last meal whichever is more.

• Turkey- we bought this for $0.19.  I ate 3 ounces for a total of $0.0356 or rounded up to $0.04.
• Ham- I do not eat that filthy stuff.
• Scalloped potatoes- free, I ate 4 tablespoons
• Asparagus- disgusting, but it wold have been free.
• Gravy- not sure how to count this since it was homemade from the gravy drippings.  I will go with $0.05
• Vegetables- did not eat, would have been free.
• Rolls- 2 at $0.05 for $0.10

Total for the meal- $0.19, doubled that comes to $0.38 for this meal.  Coming into this meal, I had $1.01 at my disposal, so that leaves me with $0.63 for supper.

This is one of those meals where I must charge myself the cost of the previous meal.  Supper was at my parents house, and there was no way to accurately account for the cost of the food I ate.  So my total cost will be $0.28.  Considering my $0.57 available, I will have an extra $0.29 for tomorrow.

What I ate-

A small portion of turkey, filling, and some corn. There was also some fruit salad and a few desserts.  I left supper satisfied but not vomit driven binged.  Overall, I enjoyed the meal quite a bit.  The best part is, in reality it  was all free.
