On Sunday, I made a big batch of food to take to work for the coming weeks. Specifically, I made 12 Sausage Egg Biscuits for breakfast purposes, and 10 burritos for lunch purposes. The breakdown:
Biscuits: Bisquick and milk, approximately 50 cents; sausage, $3; 10 eggs, about $1. Total, $4.50, or 38 cents per biscuit.
Burritos: Tortillas, free; black beans, $2 (but I didn’t use all of them, so say $1.50); rice, 50 cents (again, didn’t use it all; say 25 cents); spices, negligible; cheese, $1.67. Total: $5.42, or 54 cents per burrito. Add in the two jars of salsa and one container of sour cream I will need to make these truly shine, and you get $10.42, or $1.04 each. Not bad for a tasty lunch.
