Not sure what you're cooking at home that costs $20 per serving unless it's fillet mignon or something top of the line. I'm by myself and I have a home cooked meal every day. Costs me maybe $5 per serving. What works for me is to cook in bulk, divide into individual portions and freeze. When I'm hungry, I'll take out a serving and microwave.

I usually shop sales, clip coupons and buy in quantity. I also shop often at discount grocers such as Aldis or Bottom Dollar. Sure, food is expensive, but you can still get a decent meal at home for a lot less than at a restaurant. And you can control what's in your meal too.

Lunch today was Ramen noodles made into food by the addition of pork roast leftovers and fresh veggies.

I do the same thing, but I have four other mouths to feed.
I’ll make a 25-pound oval-shaped three-inch think brick of lasagna in my turkey pot, cut it into portions, and it’ll keep for months.

NOMS!

(OH! I’m also the only one working. Wife’s a SAHM)
