I never pay more than 99¢ for a box of pasta – even brand name pasta. I often find jars of pasta sauce for 99¢.
Pasta companies claim they offer six to eight servings per box. I went with six.
The tuna adds a lean source of protein and is much less expensive than ground beef. A small can at Kroger is 89¢, I found a bunch on sale for 47¢ a can and stocked up for the year. I used the 89¢ price for this meal.
17¢ – pasta (49¢ box divided by 6)
17¢ – tomato sauce (99¢ jar divided by 6)
15¢ – tuna (89¢ can divided by 6)
28¢ – 12 oz. milk ($2.99 gallon)
35¢ – salad (99¢ head of lettuce divided by 8; 99¢ bottle of dressing)
10¢ – garlic bread
