Almost free dinner

I just had to share because I am so excited. Tonight I made dinner for my family for almost nothing. I used a box of spaghetti noodles that I got free with coupons and a package of frozen peas that were also free with coupons. I cooked the noodles and peas and then tossed them together with some olive oil and minced garlic. Volia! Dinner for the cost of 2 cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add water to drink and you have satisfied bellies and a really happy cook!

PS - I know there was no protein in this meal, but we had crockpot pulled pork for lunch today so I wasn't concerned. However, had I wanted to I could have added a can of tuna to the meal that I also got free with coupons.

PPS - The pulled pork we had for lunch was another great deal. I put a pork butt that I got for $0.99/lb in the crockpot with a bottle of barbecue sauce that was free with coupons and a little water. When it was ready we ate it on onion rolls that were a great deal early in the summer and I had frozen. Now I have left over pulled pork to freeze for a future meal!
