It has less components, and they tend to be a bit more frugal overall (whereas a Mexican meal needs things like sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, etc. in addition to the basics of tortillas, meat and/or beans). You can even do spaghetti vegetarian to keep costs low, and dress it up with a caesar salad and garlic bread, both very easy and inexpensive! Hope your dinner goes well! Hi Dennis,

My friends bills are like mine:) I am from Alberta, Canada and I know food is more than in the States (robbery since our dollar is comparable know), but some of you are in BC, so I wonder about differences just from provinces. However, I will troop on and see if I can lower my bill, a challenge it will be:) God Bless OOps I should proof read.

I'm sure it involved a lot of work. Does your husband want you to plan meals based on cost? Mine would want the tacos even if they were more expensive. I'm looking forward to the carnival.
