Instead of my traditional ground pork I went with ground turkey at half the price. There is literally a 2:1 turkey:pasta ratio. The sauce is a heavily seasoned can of crushed tomatoes. Garlic knots have been hiding in the freezer forever and were free back when I got them.
Cost per person: $2.25
It took me a bit to realize the reason your cost per person was so low is because of currency exchange, or maybe American food prices are lower.
As much as Americans complain about the cost of food it is very inexpensive. A hundred years ago we were spending 30% of our income on food. Now it’s just 6%. But the trick is not eating out or getting delivery. Although Little Caesars pizza is hot and ready at $7 for two adults.
That’s so cheap!
