Chicken dinner for under $ 2 a plate

Tonight's dinner will be slow-cooked roast chicken, large pearl couscous, and green beans. Because of the season, we are eating frozen vegetables instead of fresh. I'd make a terrible chef!

Costs are based on 4 servings, though there will be leftovers.

Chicken: $ 4.38 (whole chicken on sale for $ 0.99/lb)
Couscous: $ 2.40 (4 servings out of a 10 serving container. Not on sale this week, though!)
Green beans: $ 1.00 (Frozen vegetables are on sale this week)

Total: $ 7.78
Cost per person: $ 1.95, rounded up

Bonus: I will make stock after the chicken is done. The additional costs come to about $ 1.50 worth of vegetables to make stock for soup this winter.

Ready to start the crockpot!
