Cut this recipe in half to serve four people. Be sure to use soft breadcrumbs that you make yourself, not the dry packaged variety. There's a sale in my supermarket this week: four six-ounce chicken breasts cost $3.60. Cost for four servings: $4.80 - Buttered Baby Carrots
Kids love baby carrots, and so do adults. With good reason! They are sweeter and more tender than regular carrots, and fun to eat. Cost for four servings: $2.30 - Stovetop Rice Pilaf
Rice is a wonderful side dish, and this recipe is practically foolproof. Make the whole recipe and use the leftover rice in Salmon Rice Pilaf for your lunch tomorrow! Cost for four servings: $1.05 - Easy Fancy Cookies
You can make a batch of the cookie dough and freeze it, or keep it in the fridge up to four days. Slice and bake (or have your kids do it!) when you want some fresh cookies. Cost for four servings: $.39
