Senior Cook
I had a friend yesterday brag to me (for a good 30 minutes) about how frugal he was in being able to feed "himself plus 4 others a hearty meal for less than 5 bucks in total." This was during a chat on Financial Peace University (basically how to save money and get out of debt) and we were going around talking about how we cut costs when possible and how cheaply we could eat for a week. I was excited to share that I got really good quality bacon from a local store at only 50 cents a pound, 20 pounds total (I love bacon and I have freezer room), then my friend said he'd recently fed a gang for way cheaper than my bacon. When I was curious to know further, he didn't elaborate as to what his cooking methods or ingredients used. It got me thinking nonetheless. How cheaply could you feed a group of say 4-5 people? I don't have a budget, but I try to be frugal when I can and usually spend about 100 dollars a week on groceries for me and my husband.
