Bargain Meal of the Week: Meat Lovers and Veggie edition

Well this week I am featuring a Bargain Meal idea for meat eaters and another in honor of vegetarians (like me!)

Summertime Mango Salsa Chicken:

4 chicken breasts $1.99/lb this week= $2.98
1 fresh mango $1
1/2 red onion .30
1/2 green pepper .40
1 fresh red chile pepper .50

To keep things light I would serve this with sliced cucumbers with red wine vinegar drizzled on top.

Total: $5.18

Veggie Option:

Eggplant Con Queso (this is a little heavy for warm weather but looks so good!)

1 Eggplant $1
1 cup shredded cheddar .99
1 cup diced toasted bread .25
1/2 cup heavy cream .99

Some reviewers also added salsa.

Total Price: $3.23 (the veggies have enough in the budget for dessert!)
