I canned this chili long before prices for ground beef started going up. I’ve been hesitant to eat it not knowing if I could replace it.
Cost per person, 3.87

Most canned store chili is swimming in salt, but I’ve found a decent compromise in Hormel’s. It’s not as tasty as some others, but the price isn’t bad. I almost always start with a base of water-sauteed onions, shredded cabbage, SCO, various seasonings and whatever veggies I have at hand. Put them in some low-cal wraps, add a bit of plain Greek yogurt & hot sauce, and Bob’s my uncle.
A lot of why I’m doing it this way is because my fridge is still on the fritz…
Do you know what the problem is with the fridge? Usually it’s between $85-$125 for someone to come out and look at it and that is deducted from the total to fix it, which is usually less than $75 in parts.
Also check Craigslist. This time of year college kids are dumping their dorm fridges.
College kids dumping stuff (particularly Ivy-leaguers, etc) is a great one. Various friends & acquaintances back East have found literal & figurative gold, dumpster-diving at the right moment.
Situation’s a little different here as part of an apartment complex. They’ll theoretically take care of it all (repair / replace) as long as I demonstrate that I didn’t let it get a bit out of hand at one point. Nuf sed on that.
