Cheap Supper

I am always trying to figure out how to feed the family on a budget. Thought I'd share with you what we ate tonight.

Taco Salad, used

12 Ortega Taco shells (purchased earlier today) $.90
1 Package Ortega taco seasoning (purchased earlier today) $.09
1 Package ground turkey 85/15 $1.74
1 tomato, .77/lb was about 1/4 lb $.19
1 cup shredded cheese $0 free from WIC
1 package Green Giant steamers $0, free with $1 cpn when they were on sale.
1 big bag Spinach Salad $2.88, used half the bag.
1/2 onion chopped. $.25 apx.

Total cost for family of 5 tonight was $4.61

To make the taco salad:

Cut the onion.
Add the ground turkey and onion to the skillet and brown.
Add the taco seasoning as per instructions.
Break the taco shells and place in bowls.
Steam the corn and add.
Cut the tomato and add.
Add shredded cheese.
Tear Spinach leaves and add.

Add you favorite taco toppings. We prefer Ranch dressing.
The kids LOVED it.
