17 meals of Sloppy Joes

Each Sunday, we have a potluck dinner at church.  This past Sunday, I knew we had a lot of people on vacation, so I wanted to take something to church that would be a whole meal if needed, so after looking at the weekly ads, especially Winn Dixie, I decided to make sloppy joes.
WD had ground beef on sale, 2 lb packages for $3.98, and they had Manwich on sale, $1 a can.  I also got buns at Save-a-lot for 99¢ for eight hamburger buns.

So, it looks like this:

• 4 lb ground beef, $7.96
• 4 cans Manwich, $4.00
• 6 packages hamburger buns, $5.94

Talk about your loaves and fishes!  At church on Sunday night, we had 8 adults and one child, and several of them had two sandwiches.  We brought the leftovers home, and between the 20yo nephew, 15yo and 12yo sons and myself, we ate those sloppy joes for DAYS.

I said 17 meals, but it really was closer to 25 meals... all for a total of $17.90.
