You can look in ...Karen, this is a great question. You can look in the batch cooking archives for the post where we recorded costs of each meal. It greatly depends on how much, what kind of meat - and its quality. The falafel is super cheap (because it's beans), the beef tips recipe is more costly because it is mainly beef. This time, neither HB nor I had beef so we had to buy it at $6/lb (but is much cheaper when you buy 1/4 cow directly from a farmer, or if you want to buy it on sale from Kroger.)<br /><br />It has been our experience that we save money overall when we batch cook. We are not tempted to eat out as much - which is expensive. And, if something is thawing I am more likely to "make due" with what we have and not run to the grocery store for that one thing (and end up buying 5 that I didn't really need.)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05797292314469427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756150715898028038.post-59189750419337918302012-04-04T22:25:43.477-05:002012-04-04T22:25:43.477-05:00how much does this end up costing per meal?how much does this end up costing per meal?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487855153112748234noreply@blogger.com
