I was able to get all the ingredients from my local Save A Lot store in Dry Ridge, Kentucky.  Which saved me money and the ingredients were fresh and delicious.  I only spent $12.24 for the ingredients and feed my family of five (3 adult servings and 2 children servings), which breaks down to only $2.24 per person!

Not to mention I did not use the whole bag of chicken or containers of bacon bits and salad dressing so I can use them again. Here is a breakdown of cost – Bag of Chicken – $4.99, Salad Dressing -$1.79, Bacon Bits – $1.49, Bag of Salad Mix – $1.99, Tomatoes $0.99 and Celery $0.99. Prices may vary on location of your store.
