Day 1. Cheeseburger Casserole and Strawberries ($11 for 5)

Day 1. (May 28, 2019) Yesterday I mentioned we should try to eat $10 dinners for the whole next month, which coincides when my job ends.  My wife didn't seem too excited about it, so I was surprised when today she said, "The $10 dinners start tonight."

My childhood comfort food was supercharged casseroles.  Sometimes these were homemade, but when my mother went back to work as a secretary, they generally were boxed meals. Sometimes they were brand names and sometimes generic, but they were basically the same:  Some kind of macaroni pasta and a flavor packet to which she'd add a pound of hamburger and either canned vegetables or frozen ones from our garden.  

Tonight it a basic boxed meal called "Cheeseburger Casserole" that we bought at the local BJs Club Store.  (BJs is like a Costco or Sam's Club.  You pay $25 and you can shop there and buy flatbeds of food at huge discounts.  Some people are County Club members, we're BJs Club members.  Not much overlap.  Yesterday my wife bought 6 of these boxed meals for $8.99.  Try to find that deal at the local Country Club.

Dinner was one of these boxed meals, plus xyz.  Yum
