Target Area: Davis, CA - UC Davis

You can get GREAT nomnoms and you don’t have to be eating chicken all the time.  Part II of this week’s Davis, CA showcase finds us with Top Stove Spareribs serving 4 at a total grocery raw mat price of $7.35.

• This includes 1 pound of tasty squash/zucchini, 3 pounds of lovely spareribs, and 1 loaf of yummeroo butter top breads (your choice of either white/wheat).
  

Let’s break it down.

This meal serves 4 for $7.35.  That puts us at about $1.70ish (round up to $2.00) for a meal.

• Single person can do 4 meals.  That’s about $1.70-something a meal.
• What if I eat enough for 2 people? OK. So you get 2 meals for $3.60-something a meal.  AND, once again, you’re not using processed foods or eating MickeyD’s. You’re also eating fulfilling stuff.  What does $3.60 get you at Carl’s Jr.?  At any of the downtown restaurants?  還不錯. (Not too bad).

You’ll notice that the AJAXO.com shopping list incorporates a recipe search result.  How?  You can also reverse-lookup recipe ideas based on ingredients.  Search “beef, carrots, celery” and click “RECIPE” —> it’ll show you recipes that have those ingredients.  You don’t have to follow to the tee and can always feel free to mix & match.
