Cheap Summer Salmon Meal Less than $1 per Serving

I basically divided the fillet in half and made 1 oz servings for cooked Salmon.  I pan fried because I was too lazy to take out grill, but basically spent about 10 minutes cooking it.  Then plated on large lettuce leaf, so I could eat it as a wrap.  And took went to my fridge from some ready made chic pea salad and added that as a side dish.  And magically you have a quick, healthy cheap and easy summer lunch or dinner!

Note: In terms of cost this meal definately cost me less than $1 to make because I get access to huge dollar bags of Veggies from the Chinese Supermarkets.  But even if you didn't have that I am pretty confident you could do this for $1.50 per dish if not better because the Salmon I ended buying would have been the equivalent of $8/lb which is way too high!  The key is to cut your fillets thin like the prepacked manufacturers do.

Cheap Jacks Haul, Cheapest Groceries in NYC

I just love Cheap Jacks on 34 Street, its just awesome!!!!!  I got the Pepperidge Farm Whole Wheat Breads for $1.29, the huge tub of Vanilla Yogurt for $.99 and the tub of Kraft Flavored cream cheese for $1.29.  The Salmon is pre-marinated and 2 oz for $.99, which in hindsight I miscalculated on but its still relatively good deal.  I just know I can get the full Salmon on sale for around $4.99/lb.

And I just found a coupon for them not sure if its legit but I'll definately give it a try its from ValPak.

Jacks 99 Cent Store 34 Street Grocery Haul

For Groceries as a New Yorker the secret to cheap cheap groceries is Jacks 99 Cent Store near the 34 STREET train station. Seriously if you want to eat top quality foods without couponing etc just go to Jacks 99 Cent Store!!!

Look at my entire haul Hirshire Italian Sausage , 2 packs of Turkey Breast,  Frozen Barramundi Fish (I know this is what WHOLE FOODS carries) , 3 Packs of Whole Wheat Bread and 1 Pack of Raisin Cinnamon Bread, Saltines and Coconut Macroons and I forgot to take picture of the huge Coconut Water I got.  Everything cost me total of $14.79!!!!!!!

Lately, I haven't been able to catch their Whole Wheat Bread deals so when I saw it was totally filled with breads today at cost of $1.29!!!!!!!!! I went crazy and got 4 packs.  I'm going to freeze 3 packs because Whole Wheat Bread is just so freaking expensive.  At a regular supermarket the lowest price is $1.99 and that is seriously rare! Usually I get them on sale for $2.50 so $1.29 is crazy cheap for Whole Wheat Bread!!!!!!

So if you want to stock on some staples and have your unlimited metrocard totally get to Cheap Jacks. Notable things I just didn't buy was they had quart sized milk, half and half for $.99, Brie Cheese for $1.29, Activia 4 pack Yogurt for $1.29 (keep in mind on sale at Pathmark it's $2.50 ), adorable mini hot dogs for pigs in the blanket.  They also have a more gourmet food section on the 3rd floor yummo I finally found my second source for Mascapone Cheese in NYC-- Cheap Jacks they pretty much have the two varieites they have at Whole Foods (identical) for $3.49 and $4.49.  And Smoke Salmon Packs for $4.99 !!!!
