super miserly superbowl

So, I am on a serious pay off our debts so I can stay home kick lately.
We were having some friends over for a low key Superbowl party, and the guys wanted to get Country Sweet for dinner. Which in all fairness, they get like once a year now. (When we were younger, we used to get it once a week.) So the wives agreed that this is what we will eat.

One morning last week, at about 3am, I got a brilliant miserly idea. We will buy frozen chicken fingers, frozen french fries, and Country Sweet sauce, and I will make my own for a fraction of the price.

It was really good. The chicken fingers tasted EXACTLY the same. No difference what so ever. Even our picky eater guest thought they were good. The fries - well, there is something to be said for fries that are actually fried. But they were good enough.

But the best part was the fact that the cost of the entire 8 pounds of french fries (we didn't use all of them) and the 4 pounds of chicken was the same as if my husband and I purchased 2 dinners from the restaurant. Approximately 20 buckaroonies for an entire super bowl party.

I feel proud of my miserly self.
