Favorite cheap meals

[Guest]

Rice – it works with only a little margarine if need be.

Home made tacos – both masa (corn flour) and dried beans are cheap.

Hamburger casseroles – I use 73 per cent hamburger and then only half what

is called for.

BTW, here in Great Falls, Wal-Mart has an off-brand 5 pound box of patties

for $4.95. 85 per cent hamburger is going for about $1.59/pound. To

determine which is the best deal, divide the percentage into the price per

pound. At those prices, you are paying $1.36/pound of meat in the 73 per

cent type, and $1.87 for the 85 per cent type. If you carefully drain the

73 per cent type, you end up with 85 per cent type. If you rinse it with

hot tap water, you get about the 92 per cent type, which around here is

going for over $2.00 per pound.
