Cooking meals around the 10 buck mark is a piece of piss down here. Especially if you buy your fruit+veg from a grocery shop, meat+poultry from a butcher, bread from a baker, small goods from a deli, etc.

If you just buy everything from a large chain supermarket then ya I can understand how the ingredients prices can add up. Or it could just be that your prices are generally higher then ours, which would suck.

Chicken Valdostana for Two

2 (8-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts - $6.00
1/2 cup all purpose flour - 0.30
1/2 teaspoon butter - 0.30
Salt and pepper - 0.01
2 slices prosciutto ham - 0.70
2 slices fontina cheese - 0.60
1/2 cup dry vermouth - 1.00
1/2 cup tomato sauce - 0.30
3 tablespoons heavy cream - 1.00

total ing cost - $10.02 (based on prices down here)
