.98 cent snackSSS

I walked into the grocery store with the money I found in my cupholder -  98 cents.  What do you do if you don't even have a dolla ("r" left off for coolness)?

McDonald's can barely even help you then!!! But fear not!!! The grocery store can indeed come to your aid. All while keeping it healthy too!!!

option 1: 1 medium banana  = 30 cents!!!!!(.59 cents a lb)

After limping around the store for a bit, I discovered a dime in my shoe.  $1.08!! Somebody get me a Bentley and a bottle of Cristal!!! Somebody be ballin' now!!!!  I decided to do a 2nd experiment to see if I could MAKE something with any two items.  I chose: a banana and a sweet potato


I baked the sweet potato.  I'll wait for you to stop laughing. Yes, I baked. Even I could do it without ruining it:
a) preheat to 350
b) poke holes in it
c) put some olive oil on the outside
d) bake for around 55 minutes

When my sweet potato was nearly ready,  I took the banana, sliced it, added about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon applesauce that I had (that may or may not have been stolen from a small child's lunchbox) and stuck that in the microwave for 5 minutes. Then made it a little mushy.  Not too mushy though.  I have food consistency issues.

I put the banana/ applesauce mixture inside the sweet potato (like I used to do w/ bacon, chives, etc on my regular potato) and. . . . YUM!!!!!! a good-for-you snack (kind of a dessert actually) for exactly $1.08 (including tax)

(a small fry at McDonald's is $1.07 I think and NO ONE gets full off of that)

Just a reminder that just because you're po' ( the "-or" left off for coolness), you can still eat healthy.

 * = try produce that says "locally grown".  It is usually cheaper!
