I love saving time in the kitchen, whether it’s the prep or the clean up.  Lately Chris has been taking lunch to work since we realized he was spending well over $200 a month eating a work.  I love to go to the wholesale stores and buy a huge thing of chicken and cooking it all one day and freezing into individual packages for him to take.  I realized in doing this how easy it is to prep ahead for dinners too!  I simply double the portions and have enough for us for dinner now.  It’s perfect for when I’m just not in the mood to cook and we’d typically order out.  I had ordering out, it’s sooo expensive and not very healthy.

I don’t know about you but this has been one expensive summer!  Hubby and I love to take vacations during the summer and we ended up spending well over $3k staying local for our first vacation week.  Since we had so much fun we did it again!  Now we’ve been doing short day trips to the shore since hubby has off, but ouch our bank account!  Thanks to Walmart and their rollbacks dinner doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.  (That’s only when we eat out! ;-))  We actually spent most of the money eating out and obviously hotels.  Simple dinners aren’t so easy to do when you’re out on vacation.  We save the budget meals for home and splurge while we’re out.   Walmart is especially helpful on the 1st and 15th of the month when your waiting for you paycheck!  Our summer meals are our absolute favorite.  It’s always easy to make low budget meals and budget recipes on the grill too!

Hot and fresh fried wings are a staple for any super bowl or sports party. I recently went to our local Super Walmart Deli to do a test run and see how we could compare their fresh and ready deli wings from Tyson to homemade.  In addition to the Bone-in Hot Wings I purchased General Tso’s Boneless Wings for the guys and gals!  I have a great recipe to share using them!  For dip ins we picked up some Kraft Ranch and Kraft Creamy Italian Dressing.  The prepared wings will save so much time, and they’re still fresh wings!   You can purchase in a Pick 3 Bucket, Plated, Meal, or by the pound!

I’m a Philly girl at heart and LOVE a good Philly Cheesesteak.  However I always get sick whenever I eat them.  Like really sick.  I’m not really sure why.  I love the steak flavor with the caramelized onions and the way the bun soaks up all the grease from the beef!  I go to Whole […]
