Use grocery coupons to help plan your meals
Plan your meals around store sales and coupon availability. This week chicken cutlets are on sale: 10 lbs. for $1.65 per pound. A really good buy. Since I can’t use 10 lbs at once, I break up the package into 10 smaller ones providing the protein portion for $1.65 per meal. Next, Birds frozen vegetables are on sale 5 for $5. With my $.50/2 coupons doubled my final cost is $2.50 for the 5 boxes. Using 1 per meal, to serve with my chicken, each of these meals will cost $2.15.
So be smart, frugal and coupon conscious when planning your menus. It does work. Send me any ideas you have for sharing menus and coupons.
