My freezer went out last Tuesday and I fed us for 9 bucks
Opened the freezer to grab chicken and everything was half thawed, so I spent the night roasting whatever was left and turned it into 3 days of burritos, soup, and stir fry for about 9 dollars total. Anyone else have a panic-cook that actually saved money in the end?
Watched my neighbor do basically the same thing when her fridge died in July, and she ended up making like ten meals out of stuff that was about to go bad. Turns out a forced cooking night can stretch food way further than normal planning ever does. Nine bucks for three days of food is hard to beat.
