Tex-Mex breakfast – 88¢

  • Tex Mex breakfast

  • 2-egg omelet with Mexi-blend cheese
  • 1/3 can (5.3 oz) refried beans
  • Salsa
  • Slice of bread
  • 2 tomato slices
  • 8 oz. glass of orange juice

Smart-shopping cost = 88¢

14¢ – Eggs on sale at Aldi and Kroger at 79¢ per dozen – often cheaper

10¢ – Shredded cheese is a guesstimate. I bought Kroger cheese @99¢ and used a Kroger digital coupon for 65¢ when buying 2.

9¢ – Salsa – Publix has it BOGO once in a while

20¢ – Refried beans were dented cans at 50¢/3 servings

3¢ – Bread was 50¢ per loaf at Kroger (manager’s special)

20¢ – Tomatoes full-price – 2 slices

12¢ – Orange juice (I dilute by 1/2 to cut calories and sugar)

23¢ – tomato juice
