2024 Update
- 1/2 can baked beans (8.oz)
- 2 hot dogs
- Slice of bread
- 4 oz. potato salad
- 12 oz. glass of milk
Hot dogs are always on sale, so buy in bulk and freeze them. In May of 2024, Lidl had Bar S 12 oz. packs of 8 hot dogs on sale for 69¢ (9¢ per hot dog).
Look for deals on hot dogs, buns, baked beans and condiments before the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day and stock up.
Milk fluctuates week to week. I get Kroger paper and digital 45¢ off coupons every month for cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. You can almost always find some half-price during the week (manager’s special).
55¢ – 1/2 can baked beans
18¢ – 2 hot dogs
50¢ – Kroger potato salad (half price/mgr’s special).
6¢ – Buns are cheap around the summer holiday. You can almost always find weekly manager’s specials for 99¢ a loaf or less)
28¢ – 12 oz. glass of milk at $1.99 per gallon
