Cheerful Frugality Plans A Meal
When it comes to menus, I'm a cheerful sale shopper.
Strategy: plan meals based on what's on sale at the grocery store.
If I'm careful, I can usually cook dinner for $5 or less. So can Erin of $5 Dinners, who demonstrates her family's dinner every night.
Yet we've both noticed that while people understand the concept, they have trouble translating it to their own tables.
So Erin came up with a brilliant idea: bargain meals of the week. Savvy shoppers all over the country will
- Look at their store's weekly sales flyer.
- Come up with a meal idea based on what's on sale.
- Share recipe/cost at $5 Dinners each week.
If you're a frugal blogger, see if Erin needs a contributor for your favorite chain. If you're a frugal cook, you'll want to check each week for store-specific ideas.
Aren't you excited? Crafting new sale-flyer meals just became a whole lot easier!
