Last night I wanted to make broccoli slaw, my MIL makes it but I never have. I got on-line and did a search and came up with a recipe, but low and behold I did not have sesame oil, sesame seeds or slivered almonds in the house, so I improvised from the stockpile and it's pretty yummy.

2 bags broccoli slaw (on sale 10/$10 with a $.50 peelie that doubled) = $90
2 bags ramen noodles crushed with a rolling pin (on sale 10/$1) = $.20
1/4 sunflower seeds (on sale $1/bag used maybe 1/10 of the bag) = $.10
1/2 cup margarine (on sale with a coupon) = $.02
3/4 bottle Kraft toasted sesame dressing (on sale w/ a coupon) = $.08
1 Tbls minced sugared ginger - optional could be substituted with ground ginger or ginger root
1 tsp of one ramen noodle seasoning packet (give or take)
pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

In a frying pan melt butter or margarine, then throw in crumbled ramen and sunflower seeds, stir constantly and saute until golden brown (this happens quickly), shut off heat and set aside. Mix everything else together in a large bowl and then fold in noodles and seeds. Serves maybe 10-12 for $1.30.
