1 Bag, 5 Dinners

With it being a holiday weekend, I am revisiting an old Homemaker Hero post this week. Enjoy.

I quite often plan our weekly grocery budget by pairing my coupons with what is on sale. However, there are times that we just have no use for what is on sale. I have found an alternative to getting FIVE dinners out of ONE bag of groceries. It's on Kraftfoods.com.

The cooks there have graciously planned 5 meals which reuse ingredients over the week and end with a yummy pizza Friday. Although it's not always the cheapest option (because we still have to buy breakfasts, lunches and weekend meals - as well as most of what you're buying not being on sale), it seems to be a decent alternative.

There are several types of meal plans to choose from: Healthy Living, Chicken and Beef, Chicken and Pork, and Chicken and Seafood. Being able to reuse ingredients over the week is an excellent way to save some money! Be sure to check it out and let me know how it works for you! Don't forget to print your handy shopping list once you choose the meal plan you want for the week!
