Ingredients

Prices are from Publix the week of October 11, 2026. Sale prices change every week and differ by store.

Steps

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in cumin and paprika, cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes with their juice. Simmer for 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add spinach in batches, stirring until wilted, about 5 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide wilted spinach among 4 shallow bowls. Make a small well in the center of each mound.
  5. Reduce tomato sauce heat to medium-low. Carefully crack 2 eggs into each bowl, nestled on the spinach. Pour the warm tomato sauce around the eggs, then cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  6. Toast bread slices and serve alongside bowls for dipping in the sauce.

Why it’s cheap

4 of the 10 ingredients were on sale at Publix the week of October 11, 2026, led by fresh spinach at $2.00 instead of $3.09.

The sale items rang up $10.86 under their regular prices.

Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $2.03 a serving, or $8.12 for 4 servings.
