Amber,

I have listed my prices in the past, but with my life being so hectic right now I’m having a hard time remembering prices! lol. I can give you an approximate cost of the roast meal:

Roast: $4 – $5
Carrots: $1.10
Potatoes: 97¢ ea.
Soup Mix: 25¢
Cream Soup: 27¢ ea.
Broth: 80¢
Salad: 12¢
Rolls: Free

So, this week my roast meal costs a little under $10 and I will be using the leftovers to make my beef stew. The cost will always vary depending on sales. I try to buy all my ingredients on sale (this week I paid full price for the potatoes and broth!). If you search Menu Plan Monday you could probably find a cost breakdown of my roast meal that I’ve posted previously.

Would it be possible to include the cost you spent on the meals when you list your favorite recipes on the page? It would help me to think about my budget knowing that the roast and veggies is a $10 meal serving 6 people or possibly less serving more people.
I know the price won’t be exactly what it would cost world wide, but it should be close.
