Sunday Supper for 6 for less than $4.75 with leftovers
1 average chicken - (oven roasted with salt, pepper, garlic, lemon and parsley) - extra cockeral I hatched myself and sent to freezer camp. $0
1 bundle fresh beets (tops and roots - yields 2 complete dishes for the table) - $2.49
6 carrots (10lb bag from Costco) $0.41 (steamed)
4 large baking potatoes (Costco 20lb bag = about 0.37 per potato) $1.48 (simple oven roasted)
Dinner rolls - maybe $0.35 - I buy flour and yeast in bulk and it lasts a very long time!
There will also be leftovers from this meal. The chicken carcass will pull double duty and I'll boil it for stock and any slivers of meat still on the bones.
Leftover carrots/potaoes will go into the soup.
The juice from the beets (as well as any leftover beets) I have used to make pickled eggs for salad plates for other meals.

Angie, you are a total wonder! It all looks scrumptious, and knowing it is economical makes it even better.
Sounds like my kinda meal!
I was about to be all jealous of your beets, thinking you had grown them, because mine never came up this year! Still looks like a wonderful meal, though! I love roasted potatoes. I'm growing potatoes this year for the first time because we eat so many of them!
The beets where the big ticket item in this supper! And they were so good! I have several packets of seeds to plant but I waited to plant them as we had snow 10 days ago.
Can I please pay you to come and stay with me for a week?
