Kristy’s Meals Cost $1.76 Per Serve!

“This took my sister and I six hours in total – and that includes shopping, cooking and cleaning,” she tells The Healthy Mummy.

“We halved the cook, so it works out at 28 meals each and I’m hoping this will last me a good two weeks of lunch and dinners, that depends on what hubby ends up eating too. But if I were to make this batch for just myself it would work out at eight weeks of dinners – it blows my mind.

The average cost per meal is $1.76.”

This is the first time Kristy has done a massive cook up like this!

She says: “I’m VERY happy with our efforts. I’ll still be cooking meals for my hubby and four-year-old, but this bank of food will help me stay on track and keep on top of my portion control.”
