Definately not another dollar LOL. Well,, dinner was great last night, fried pork chops (they were on clearance so we got the large package that we divided into two dinners and only paid $7 for it, so only $3.50 per meal, the side dish was two envelopes of chedder broccoli noodles at $1 each, and a can of corn bought from the food auction for about .10. So, last night's meal cost $5.60 which is $1.40 per person! NOT BAD!!
One trick I've learned is to shop in the middle of the week if possible. The reduced meats are more available at wal-mart at that time. All the reduced means is they have dated it and the date is bout to be up. The meat is not bad and I take it home and stick it right in my deepfreeze so it's good for a few months that way. I always check the reduced breads as well. Again, if you find a good deal, buy it up. Stick it in the freezer. The only tip I have on that is, when you thaw it out, take it out of the package if any ice got on the bread. That way you can knock that off before it thaws and you won't have any soggy or hard edges from it when it thaws. Now, bread won't usually last long if it was reduced. Of course bread doesn't usually last long after purchase anyway, so just make sure to look it over good each time you get a serviing. And the 1/2 price loaf of french bread.....makes the BEST french toast!!
I am always looking for ways to save money in other areas, right now I'm about to get on my treadmill that was FREE! Yes, my favorite word! Took me a few months to find it, but after many posts on Craigslist, and then a post on my Freecycle list, I found a great person who was willing to give me the one she had in her garage for a long time. It's a huge one and I'm so thrilled to be getting myself into shape right in my own living room!
I've got to start posting pictures I know, cuz one of these days someone is going to actually read this and want to see what all I am talking about LOL>
Anyway, hope this helps. Have a great day!
