Made a chicken and stuffing casserole and my wife and I each had a serving which was half the casserole. Adding up the costs of the ingredients and dividing by 4 gives a cost of $1.12 per serving. We also had a salad and that cost per serving, including the dressing, was $.62. Total cost of the meal per person was $1.74.

$.12 dressing
$.50 salad

$1.00 1 box of stuffing mix
$.20 1 stick of margarine
$.65 1 can of mushroom soup
$.65 1 can of cream of chicken soup
$1.99 1 rotisserie chicken (priced to sell)
$0.00 1 cup of instant milk (bags of instant milk given to me free)

$4.49 total divided by 4 gives cost of $1.12 per serving

$1.74 total cost per serving when salad is added.
