Idea for the cheap no yolks

Hey, Winn Dixie has their NO YOLKS noodles on sale BOGO, there is a .75 off 1 coupon
makes it .39 each!
Last night I did these and I had some fresh spinach I needed to use up.....I put in butter, salt, pepper the spinach and a little Parmesan cheese...WOW! They loved this, normally I just do parsley...but I had that spinach and thought it would add color and VITAMINS!! Just through it in there fresh!! (don't cook the spinach first, the heat from the pasta will do fine!)
And Winn Dixie has there DOLE salads BOGO, FRESH SPINACH IS INCLUDED!! Also the Dole COLESLAW!!! I grabbed one coleslaw and 1 salad (they were the cheapest! $2.29 for the both of them) The coleslaw will go great with the cheap Seapack Shrimp from the other week, and the cheap Gorton's this week....I see a "SEAFOOD NIGHT" coming!!! In fact I think that will be tonight's supper!

Some Menu ideas with sale items!

Hey, I noticed on Publix Penny Pinchers site,
HERE
she has posted about why a menu plan is important....if you read my post about the $30.00 lesson I learned (went to dentist, didn't plan.....Take out $30.00!!! we have food here!)why I think this is important also....if I know before hand what to take out of freezer or I can "prep", I am not running around last minute trying to figure out what to do....and you are less likely to just "GRAB TAKE OUT!!!" We usually ffed our family of 5 here at home way under $5.00 total!!! for supper......take out for 5 averages $30.00 (I spend that for a weeks trip at the store!!!)and it also helps me figure out how I am going to use 18 jars of RAGU!!! with out having it every night....we have spaced that Ragu out since November....I still have 6 left and I hace given away alot...

Here are some GREAT recipes that tie in with sale items!! I am planning on doing some of the chicken recipes! Remember whole chickens are .99lb. at Winn Dixie (stock up price) and we can get 2 meals out of one chicken!! Family of 5 go ahead and say ADULTS.....Usually when I cook a whole chicken, the first night we eat as roasted....then I take all the meat I can off the bones and use as chicken pot pies or chicken casseroles.....and with ALL that cheap broth!!!! WOOOOHOOO! I am like Publix Penny Pincher, I don't use the broth from the chicken....to fatty or something...and like I said usually we roast them first... I have done 2 at a time before, and put in freezer!!
Roast Sticky Chicken
REALLY TASTE LIKE DELI rotisserie chicken!!! Put rub on the night before, stick in frig will take 5 hours to cook the next day BUT OHHH SO WORTH IT, the flavor gets all the way through, and it is really moist NOT DRY AT ALL very very delicious!

Or I am going to try her crock pot way!!! Here

This will make a great deal with the sale at Winn Dixie on Chicken.....NOOOO we will not be eating chicken every night this week....I will buy alot of chickens...and freeze....save recipes for during the course of the next few weeks!! I used to only buy chicken breast.....then with budget....swapped to drumsticks....(WE WILL NOT EAT THIGHS!!) But then I did the whole chicken, we love the recipe I posted up top, and like I said I can get 2 meals out of 1 so we really are coming out cheaper this way....And I have cooked chicken in the freezer for some really fast meals!!!
