Dinner's for under $2

So as most of you know I have been dieting and doing on a budget! Well, I thought it was hard enough to eat normally on a budget, but now trying to buy healthy foods, wow. Now I know why America is such an 'unhealthy' nation. We can't afford to eat healthy. Well, that is a different subject, so I will just tell you about the good things of eating healthy.
I went to Aldi, this new store that opened up in our area and I found some really good deals! I made two dishes from the list of the ingredients. Three of the main products were from Aldi's however, I used some pantry staples. So, here it goes:



Pork Stir Fry w/ Brown Rice

Pork Tenderlion (1/4 used) = $1.16
Red/Green Peppers (1/2 ea) = $ .50
Brown Rice (Pantry) = $ .25
Soy Sauce Grand Total Per Person= $1.91
Black Pepper
Aujus(from Pork)


The Aujus:
After I cooked the Pork, I made an Aujus by adding 2 TBS wine, picking up the bits and flavors of the pork, then added 2 cloves of garlic minced, and added 1 cup chicken broth (homemade) and 1 cup of water.


I also made us (Mike and I) a Pork Tenderlion Salad. I added some Aujus to mine, but Mike didn't want any. Here is the breakdown:

Pork Tenderlion (1/4 used) = $1.16
Salad Mix (1/4 used) = $ .13
Tomato = $ .25 Grand Total Per Person = $1.54
Aujus (from Pork)


So for two meals it costs less than $4 for the both of us! I was so thrilled with how cheap, yet how good the food was!
