Dinning on a Budget!

Okay, so I had some friends over today to teach them about couponing and really saving some money with coupons. I was so very encouraged by their enthusiam today. So, when my husband got home, he asked me to run to the store and get this deal: 5 Dinners in 1 Bag. I didn't want to cause I didn't have coupons, but then I thought. Saving money shouldn't just be limited to coupons. I wondered how much would it actually cost to feed a family of five for six nights! So off to Wolly-World I went with the list and whatever it wold cost. The menu includes: Sloppy Tacos, Cheeseburger Mac, 1-Skillet Stuff Chicken, Pizza, Macaroni, Cheesey Chicken & Broccoli Rice (the last meal is the macaroni with left overs). Here is the list of ingredients along with their price. If you would like the recipes leave a comment with your email.

I dont' know about you but that is great for no coupons!
Especially if you think about going out to eat. So think next time when you are like, let's just go out and eat, well, put that money to use and get 6 meals instead of 1!!!!!
