One pack, two dinners
The $47 grocery week got rebuilt with real Walmart prices. Seven dinners for four came to $44.04, because nothing in the cart gets bought for one night.
- Buy for pairs, not for nights. One pack of chicken is Monday's dinner and Tuesday's quesadillas.
- Seven dinners for four came to $44.04 at Walmart. Breakfast and lunch are about $28 more, and we say so.
- Cook the whole pack the first night. Leftovers you planned are dinner. Leftovers you did not plan are trash.
