financial breakdown of the aforementioned recipe

okay so as i have mentioned before, i have been trying to use a lot of what i already have on hand to make these recipes. however, i really wanted to make that sandwich last night from wheat mini baguette-y things i saw at the shop. but i was a good girl and saved money and made it with the bread i had gotten on sale last week. this all sounds so terribly boring when i write it but whatevs.

bread: had on hand, but was purchased for $3 last week.

turkey cutlets: now, i purchased a package of 8 cutlets and used four. the other four are going to be used at a later date. so i used $2.90 worth of turkey last night.

romaine: $1.99 for a big bushel that i am going to have to finish tonight and tomorrow night somehow. i would have preferred to steal the leaves i needed but...i was being a good girl.

tomato: $1.25 does that seem expensive for ONE tomato to anyone else? it was surprisingly yummy though.

mayonnaise: now, i had some in stock, but as with the soy sauce from last night, don't be afraid to save those silly little packets you get from sandwich shops etc. anyway, a bottle ends up being about $1.99.

goat cheese: pretty much one of my favourite things in the world. i eat it every single day and have no qualms about splurging on this when i can. however, the most reasonably priced goat cheese i can find is $3.99 a package; which is what i have been buying lately.

cranberry sauce: i got the jellied kind only to find out mississippi likes the kind with the actual berries in it. oh well, it worked great on the sammich. $0.89

bacon: i had this on hand as well, but a package of the only kind of reasonably priced turkey bacon in stock at my grocery store is $2.99. regular bacon is cool too as most bacon-lovers already know.

so if you had none of these items on hand and had to buy everything (which i find unlikely because most of these items everyone i know has at their disposal already)...but if you had to buy them all your total would be: $19, however i got out of the store spending only $9.03 ($6.14 if you divide up the turkey cutlets, which i'm choosing to do since it will definitely be used next week).

alright alright, have a great thursday friends!
