Welcome to Frugal Workshop where every Monday I share the simple strategies used to save money in my kitchen over the past week, along with the meals that made it to our dinner table. You'll find practical tips on how we saved money on food hopefully to inspire your own meal planning using the foods you have in your own pantry.
My Frugal Week
The other day I walked into Walmart and saw this display of oranges marked down to $1.00 per bag that had been marked down from $4.97. There were approximately seven in each bag that I bought. So, we now have 35 oranges to add to our fruit for this month. We've already eaten several of them and they are delicious.
The cashier asked me how I was going to eat all those oranges before they spoiled. I laughed inside thinking she doesn't know me very well. hehehe
We went to Kroger to do our monthly grocery shopping on Friday and also went to UGO and Ingles. We saved $70.52 at Kroger with our store coupons and sales.
What’s for Dinner
Monday ~ Baked Chicken Thighs with Cabbage & Onions, and Corn.
Tuesday ~ Baked Potatoes with Cheddar & Black Olives.
Wednesday ~ Chicken, Caramelized Sweet Potatoes, and Lentils.
This was a sort of use it up dinner. I had a small portion of chicken, which was left from Monday night's dinner. I also made a side dish with lentils, onions, and chili beans that turned out really well.
Thursday ~ Chicken Tacos, Lentils, and Corn.
Friday ~ Chicken Tenders, and Nachos.
I know this is a weird combination, but we were both wiped out after a full day of yard sales.
Saturday ~ Grilled Chicken Salads
Sunday ~ Chipotle Chicken Sausages, and Green Peas.
What’s been on the menu in your home this past week? Did you build up or organize your pantry this week? How are you managing food prices?

Dear Belinda, what a great menu and wonderful to use up what you have on hand.
ReplyDeleteMy new Monday blog post is up but unfortunately didn't show up in the Blogger news reader.
I have mentioned these issues on my post so that people will be aware, as well as letting people know when to expect my new posts.
I hope you and Bailey have a lovely week ahead, dear friend.
Thank you so much, Linda. I'll be right over there to read your new blog post. Blogger has been acting funny this weekend for some reason. It wouldn't let me post on two different blogs. Hopefully it will clear up soon.
DeleteSounds tasty! Great deal on the oranges! They usually last a long time in the fridge, so I know you will enjoy them this month.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to go to yard sales Friday. Hope you found some treasures. Have a great week.
Your dinners sound good! I made a list of what we have in the freezer so that I know what food we have here at home.
