What's for Din?: The Frugal breakdown of dinner 5.12.2022

I posted a quick little post earlier saying what I made for dinner, but I am trying to get back in the habit of posting real posts, instead of just everything being little random blurbs. I used to write Frugal Food posts every single night. Back when @JohnRoberts was still with us, he would comment on them all the time. As did Coral. Anyhoo. I started doing What's for din? posts when I stopped adding up everything I spent on meals. But I thought i would integrate both of them and see how I feel about it. So here goes. All four of us were home for dinner tonight. I was on a crunch for time when I stopped at Family Dollar for the ingredients for dinner, so the hamburger meat wasn't what I would usually use, but sometimes you deal with what you have. Tonight was bacon cheeseburgers and Checker's branded fries. -2 two packs of frozen pattied out burgers $2.50 ($1.25 ea pack) -Smithfield Bacon (six slices were used) $1.00 -Buns - $1.00 -Cheese $0.25 (for what I used) -Checkers Fries (bought a pound and half bag) $1.00 -Ketchup and mayo $0.25 (I only count what I approximately thing I spent out of the total. Unless I use the whole package. Grand total: $6.00 Or $1.50 each. Not too bad if I do say so myself. I didn't get a picture, because we were kind of in a hurry to eat and run an errand. Did you do better than I did with being frugal with dinner?
