    Dh and I both are lobster fan. Dh told me last week that eating some lobster will be nice. I said to him that the lobster season was over and that the price are really high right now so it won't be possible.

    Saturday, I went to Metro and found storemade of frozen bag of lobster meat in sale at 5.99$ for 1 kg (2 lbs)!!! I couldn't believe it! I knew that lobster will be in our close futur!

    Today, I went to Maxi to get vol-au-vent pastry (shell pastry?). There price was 3$ for a box of 6 - 50%. Yes! So here's how I made the supper:

    Main:
    2 Knorr King sauce: 0.25$ x 2
    2 cup of water: free
    2 cup of milk: 0.25$ ?
    1 green onion: 0.05$ ? (0.33$ a bunch of 5-6)
    2 celery branches: 0.10$ ? (0.99$ the whole thing)
    1/3 of the lobster bag: 2$
    6 shell pastry: 1.50$

    Side:
    2 cucumber: 0.66$
    1 baguette: 0.89$
    1 Coke 2L: 0.99$ (+ tx & deposit)

    Total: 7.13$ for 2 supper and 2 lunches.

    Less than 2$ per portion! Bon appétit!

    OP said that there would be enough for lunch.
    Can you imagine lunch time at work and you are eating your sandwich sitting next to this magnificent creation, smelling the lobster?
