Tasty and Inexpensive Lunch
I’ve been on this mission lately of using up products stashed in drawers, closets and even in the pantry. After all, the best way to save money is not to spend it, right? Right!
Yesterday at about noon-ish I had car keys in my hand ready to run out and grab a fast food lunch. I was really craving a burger – a Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Burger. Yum. Yum. My wallet was happy that I didn’t do it. So were my ever-widening hips.
Instead, I rummaged through the pantry and came up with a cheapo lunch of a half eaten, almost stale bag of tostadas crumpled into good old-fashioned tomato soup. Figuring about a buck for the remaining tostadas and about $1.25 for the soup versus about $8.50 for a burger combo, I saved about $6 on lunch today … and probably about 6,000,000,000,000,000 calories.
That’s a good idea, and I have plenty of tomato soup. My mom used to put cooked elbow noodles into tomato soup too.
Those Guerrero tostadas are the best!!
