#2 115 Meals For $131
Total meals 115. $130.60/115meals = $1.14 per meal From left to right: 2 meals in one round container of egg salad. 5 meals of Teriyaki Ground Turkey with Chunked Pineapple and rice. 5 meals of Spinach Feta Scramble 6 meals of Creamy Parmesan Shrimp with Spinach and Bacon. 9 meals of Parmesan Pork over Zucchini Noodles. 6 meals of Bangers and Mash. 5 meals of Korean BBQ Chicken. 8 meals of African Peanut Curry. 12 meals in six containers of Tomato and Carrot Soup. 6 meals in three containers of Chicken Korma. 18 meals in nine containers of Chicken n’ Dumplings. 6 containers of Green Chili Pork Roast. 9 meals of tacos. 18 meals of steamed boa. I put about 3-4 days of meals in the refrigerator and the rest goes into the freezer. We stay on top of eating the meals “First In, First Out” to avoid spoiling food in the refrigerator and freezer burn on food in the freezer.
