Five Dollar Dinners: Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is the perfect example of a respectable $5 dinner that will actually please the family.  I have never met a person (except maybe those who avoid cheese?) who didn't like the gooy goodness of a grilled cheese sandwich.  Be sure to use decent bread, but other than that, they're wholly customizable.  Go simple with just cheese or dress things up with kraut, onions, tomatoes, or even a fried egg!  Prices listed are based on those found at our local market.  If you shop for sales you may well be able to make this meal for less:

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (for four)

Bread ($1.25 for eight slices)
Cheese ($1.50 for six ounces)
Butter or Margerine ($.25 for two tbs)
Salad greens and veggies ($2 )
