I have been obsessed with egg salad over the last couple of weeks! It’s a source of protein for me and it’s filling. I like that I can make a big batch and eat it throughout the week and it’s easy on the bank account.

Egg Salad Ingredients: mashed hard boiled eggs, mayo, pink himalayan salt, black pepper, mustard, and rice vinegar. I go pretty heavy on the mayo which makes it creamy and you only need a little splash of the rice vinegar for some acidity. My grandma puts this in her deviled eggs and it is a complete game changer.
Cost Breakdown of the Egg Salad Sandwich
Half Dozen Organic, Cage Free Eggs: $2.49 (high end)
OR
Dozen Eggs (not organic): $1.99
Sourdough Bread, 9 Slices: $3.00 (high end)
OR
Market Pantry Loaf of Bread, 20 Slices: $1.59 (low end)
Mayo, Mustard, Salt, Pepper, and Rice Vinegar: Less than $1.00? More than likely you already have these ingredients in your pantry and refrigerator and they last a long time!

Egg salad sandwiches are an easy meal to throw together and one sandwich breaks down to about $1.53 (what you use specifically will of course change this number), but that is a cheap meal if you ask me! Add some frozen cooked vegetables or potato chips to complete the meal and keep it at a low cost.
