Okay, homemade pizza
The big one is the cheese. I was getting it for $5/lb, but it's more now let's call it
$7 for one about this size
Sauce can of tomatoes paste can of crushed tomatoes powdered garlic and spices makes enough for 2 pizzas
$1.50 for this size pizza
$1.25 green pepper and onion
The boar's head pepperoni is $7 a stick of you can't find a sale
$3 of pepperoni
A little under a pound of flour maybe a dollar, probably less
$0.25 for bottled water and yeast
An extra dollar to cover olive oil, cooking, dish washing and fuel to buy groceries.
So that fucker is costing anywhere from 10 to 16 dollars depending on sale prices and how much cheese I use.
You can feed 4 people or 3 Americans with this. I could eat the whole thing in a sitting
Total estimated cost: ≈$4.50 per serving.
Since cheese went up is hard to not just buy Little Caesars, but the quality on the mostly homemade is much better.

Breakfast is a little cheaper
I get ground pork that the local independent grocery grinds from unsold pork cuts for like $2/lb with salt and spices this is like $0.50 for the plate pictured.
I spring for the Kraft singles but I buy the big pack so that's less than $0.50 per plate
There's $0.15 of lard, maybe $0.35 four less than $0.10 of salt and water in the tortilla recipe. It makes 4 so $0.25 for the plate.
4 eggs half an onion and pepper divided by 2, and some bottled taco bell hot sauce, gas for cooking, in going to da5y that's less than $1 per plate.
So the 2 burritos are less than $2.25. you could honestly just eat one, but I skip lunch usually when I do this so you might call it $1.15 per "meal" if you count it as 2.
It's fucking delicious and the tortillas smell like movie popcorn while they cook on the cast iron.
>>
I was wrong, the pork is $3/lb, so more like too fitty a plate or a buck and a quarter for the burrito.

Looks really good, what kind of cheese is on there?

cooking is for women, so this board is for women faggot

I've got a pot of soup going right now, I'll try to break it down. Will be guesstimating cause I don't know the exact cost of everything.
>Pack of chicken quarters: $5
>Celery: $1
>Carrots: $1
>Potatoes: $2.50
>Onion: $0.50
>Fresh thyme: $1
>Rice: $0.50
And then incidental pantry ingredients like salt, pepper, oil, bay leaves etc, that probably only costs a few cents altogether. We'll round it up to $12 for the whole pot. I'll get 6 meals minimum out of it, so that's like $2 a meal at most.
Depending on the meal it might cost more or it might cost less, but I'd say that's pretty typical.

>2 Eggs: $1
>Bread: $4
>Some Leaves: $1
>Some Cheese: $1
>Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Priceless
