Budget Salad



First you might want to start off with a base, say of baby spinach or the green mix I found at Walmart for only $2.00, and this bag will fill several bowls of salad! A bag of celery, $1 (last you awhile too as you simply use two stalks per bowl of salad) grab a can or bag of frozen beets, $0.97 to $2, a bag of brocolli, caulliflower and baby carrots mix vegetables for also around $2.73, you can leave out any of these of course, I went to Publix and browsed their sandwhich/cheese aisle and found a rather small but sufficient container of marinated olives for only $1.63, two plump tomatoes run you about $1.74 and a bottle of dressing or not will leave you $2 poorer. Now this may seem like a lot at first, but all of these can be eaten over a stretch, especially if you store them in containers. It's healthy, fast and perfectly wonderful for a warm summer day!
