April Meals - The cheaper, the better

For the month of April, I am going to see how many good, cheap meals I can come up with instead of doing weekly menus this month. Time to start saving for a summer vacation.

My first five meals are the following:
***Breakfast: Pancakes, sausage, eggs, strawberries  Estimated total for this meal is: $8
***Hamburger helper (4.75 with ground beef and HH), steamed veggies (1.50), frozen bread dough loaf ($1). Estimated total: $7.25
***One of my frozen meals, I prepared a few weeks ago (Free!!)
***Pot pie chicken bake, garden salad, dessert Estimated total $11
***Mini pizzas, garden salad, carrots $8

Total for first five meals : $34.25 
Hopefully have some of these meals for leftovers!

Recipes

Pot pie chicken bake
Mix can of chicken gravy, frozen mixed vegies, two cups of diced chicken breast, and one cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Warm together in sauce pan.
Spread mixture into baking pan.
Cover with unrolled crescent rolls. 
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Mini Pizzas
Place biscuits (however many you need) in a greased baking dish. Flatted with spoon. Spread pizza sauce on top of each biscuit. Top with your choice of toppings. Cover with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
