$5 Dinner Mom,
How do you keep track of how much each meal costs you? I would love to be able to see how much we are spending for each meal, but haven’t quite been able to come up with a system that allows me to keep track.
Thanks!
Blessings!

For those of us who are cooking idiots — soft tortillas or hard tortillas in the soup?

Hey, SH. Since the recipe calls for torn tortillas, that would be soft and since I’ve had this kind of soup at restaurants, I believe it should be soft corn tortillas to make the right flavor. Hope that helps!

I find that not all your receipts have print this receipt at the bottom of it.
Thanks Shelia

I am so glad I found your website. My husband was just laid off work and I am going to need to really watch the grocery budget now. Feeding a family of 8 will be a challenge.
