Saving money on Sunday dinner

So tonight I needed to save a little money. I had brought a California tip roast on special the other day it was $9.00 from $13.00. So I needed to come up with an awesome dinner. I came up with Italian beef sandwiches and fries.
I didn't have any Italian dressing so I searched a couple blogs and found one. I made it with Italian seasoning, sugar, celery salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. I didn't measure it out cause the one I measured fell on the floor and I started another one. I put all this in my dutch oven with a pack of beefy onion soup mix , a beef bullion cube and a bay leaf. I put in enough water to cover the roast and let it simmer all day.
The next problem came when I needed hoagie rolls. So I pulled out the bread maker used 3 cups all purpose flour,  1 1/2 cups warm water, a tsp of sugar , a tsp of kosher salt, and a pack of active yeast. Let it go in the bread machine. Then when the dough cycle finished shaped them into loaves slashed the top and let it rise for 25 more minutes and then baked until brown.
I had a friend bring over some mozzarella cheese.
It was a cheap dinner but it was good. Only thing was it was just a bit salty if there was some lettuce or onions maybe it will not be as salty. But none the less it was good.
