Frugal $5 Dinner Menu Week 6 of 2012

This post may contain affiliate links.

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal!  I shop the grocery sales each week.  Then I plan my menu based on the foods I have already at home (at a great price). I balance more expensive meals with less expensive ones. We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week. Each main dish {Read More}

As I sit down to write the menu for the week, I’m writing out my 4 weekly “to do” lists (personal tasks, blogging tasks, cleaning chores, less common maintenance cleaning tasks).  It’s helping me to accomplish things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get them all checked off!  I’m happy to report that I did much better this week.  I didn’t add anything new to my lists and I managed to get almost everything checked off {Read More}

But the last time I bought them they were $4 each and the boxes had fewer cookies in them.  I can bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies using my own ready to bake from the fridge recipe for much less and have 2 or 3 times as many cookies!  I {Read More}

Walgreens Scenario 2/5 – 2/11 $37.63 for $1.35 OOP

Walgreens Rules in a Nutshell: You may only do each deal once per transaction. You cannot use the RR from one deal to pay for the same deal if you want to get another RR. You may not use more manu Qs (including RRs) than the number of items in your transaction.  A RR cannot pay tax and it’s value will not be reduced.   For a more in depth explanation of these rules, you can read my post “How to {Read More}
