It wasn't that much more work to put it into a blog. And, ya know, I've been wanting to do this for ages. Remember all those articles last year about feeding a family on food stamp money? $3 per day per person. And so many writers who couldn't do it at all because they didn't understand about buying in bulk and cooking ahead and so forth. And because they didn't know how to cook from scratch. My meal was over budget for that but still was dirt cheap for what it was. And don't forget to double (or triple) the costs if you're actually paying for labor and overhead, as in a restaurant. But still, it's a deal. Cyndi Thanks :-)

Wow, that in itself was time-consuming. And I think it's amazing that you fed all these people for under 5 dollars a head. My god, 5 dollars. I havent eaten fast food in 20 years, but isn't like McD more than $5 a head for garbage? Job well done, Cyndi! Preggers and all! Great post, love the breakdown of charges.
