Frozen entrees are quick to make, but not very economical.| Food | Size and Price Per Package | Cost/Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Lean pasta primavera, frozen entrée, 10-ounce package | 1 serving, $2.79 | $2.79 per 1-1/4 cups |
| Speedy Spaghetti Alfredo with Broccoli | entire recipe, $5.92 (11 cups) | $.54 per 1-1/4 cups |
Tip: While frozen, calorie-controlled entrees are quick to make, you really can save on your food bill by getting more than one night’s meal out of a recipe. This Speedy Spaghetti Alfredo with Broccoli is a snap to make and a ringer for leftovers, which means tomorrow night’s dinner is going to be a speedy reheat.
