    Default Cheap (and kid friendly) lunches

    I went shopping today at Walmart. In the frozen food section, they have a box of chicken tender and inexpensive bags of shoe string french fries (my fav kind). No coupons, these were as priced

    Here's the prices and break down:

    Chicken tenders 1.98
    ShoeString fries .50
    total 2.48

    now, this feeds the kids and I for two days worth of lunches...which works out to .41 a meal for each of the three of us. And the kids love it!

    hmmmm - wonder what the price is on tofu chicken tenders?!
    I'm sure that probably drives the cost per serving up, huh?!

    Sounds like Belle's idea of a gourmet lunch though!!

    Great deals!

    DD is on a french fry kick right now, so chicken nuggets or tenders and french fries is a pretty regular meal here, too.
