A Hauntingly good meal!

OK, inspiration hit me this morning finally, whew!  It's been a bit of a drab week, but I feel like today's lunch was really fun.

First off, Frankenstein.  He is a peanut butter sandwich with all natural strawberry fruit leather cut out for the eyebrows, mouth and neck plugs.  The M&M's for eyes and nose were "glued" on with a little peanut butter.  I have a Yoplait yogurt container with a scrapbook paper cut out spider web.  The grapes are just plain with a little Frankenstein stick to give a hint as to the sandwiches true identity.  The carrot "toes" are almond slices glued on with cream cheese (cream cheese used was less than a teaspoon for 3 lunches worth.)  The finger is a cheese stick with food safe markers.  The $1/lb. grapes are officially gone (thank goodness because I was getting bored with them!)  The yogurt was a 4 pack for $.90 (with coupon.) The carrots were $1 per bag and the bag of cheese sticks with coupon was $2.  The almond slices were in a bag for $1.25 on sale and the fruit leather was $3.99 for a box of 8 (I used 1 for all face parts for 4 sandwiches.)  The paper was found in my scraps of scrapbook paper. This meal was easily under $1!
