Smart-shopping cost: $1.09
I wait until Zatarain’s is on sale for $1 per box, and sometimes find a manufactuer’s coupon at the same time. I wait for deals on sausage and then buy a bunch of them and freeze them. I keep some diced in a tupperware container and then anytime I want Zatarain’s, I can toss in a handful of sausage and a chicken breast or two. I also add canned tomatoes and baby carrots (sometimes this is enough and you don’t need meat).
