Well, I have pretty much been on the couch for the last week or so. I am just so tired I can hardly move so dinners have been hit and miss.

I did manage to put one together that was very yummy and satisfied an Arby’s craving. They keep having French Dips on their commercials and it looks sooo yummy!

The other day even though I was on the couch I did manage to throw together a great less than $5 French Dip Dinner.

We had:

French Dip

Tossed Salad

Carrots for the kids

Peaches

I put a frozen roast on the stove on low at noon and threw in an onion and a couple of cups of water. I let it cook all day. I did have to add water a couple more times. Before serving I put in a couple of bouillon cubes, salt, onion and garlic powder.

I then served it on large rolls with the onions. I served the juice on the side for dipping.

I was able to put together a quick salad to go with it in a moment of feeling like I was going to hurl.

The roast I got on clearance for $5.79 and used about 1/3 so it cost less than $2. The leftovers have been used for our lunches and make shift dinners the last 3 days.

The rolls were 6 for .79 on clearance.

Then the peaches, salad and carrots cost less than $2.

I had someone ask last week how I could spend so little. Well, I shop sales and clearance items. You can find all that info. in our new Grocery Shopping On A Budget e-course which comes out next week.

Here’s a run down for the last $5 dinner.
