Budget Meal Recipes

Glotech Lunch Box Containers Pack of 50 Did all our U.S. members have a great Memorial Day weekend?  As you can guess, we did at our house which is why this week's post is late! Thanks again to everyone who contributed ideas or recipes to the Dave Ramsey - Budget Meal Recipes Group. There are some good money savings tips listed this week. Products and Cook Books Suggested TAKE NOTE - The second product listing is for a 50 PACK and the others are for 10 PACKS.  Also, while the Ninja Professional Blender & Nutri Ninja Cups (BL660) is a high price for some, we also have this as well as several other people suggesting it and it is AWESOME. We are going to buy our oldest one when he heads to college in a bit.  I very highly recommend it for mixing, dicing, smoothies, or whatever.

Ibotta has a $5 Memorial Day Bonus this week where you use 4 rebates and receive $5 on bonus rewards.  (Excludes any item or any brand rebates).   I had to go buy dishwasher soap anyway so here is my silliness for the night. I started using Ibotta again after someone here mentioned it. Guess how much? $.72 for all of this. Or, really 49 cents for the gum so I could get the $5 rebate that made the rest of it free except the banana and apple costing $.23. Hubby was excited for the gum. Not a lot here but free is free so I am happy and so is the 4-year old.   To get the deal, use $.25 off each banana and apple, $.50 off Gold Medal flour, $.50 off Del Monte fruit cups, $.25 off Orbit gum, and $.75 off Tree Top 4-pack Applesauce Pouch.   Here's a referral link for Ibotta  if anyone is interested and doesn't have it yet.. I'm glad they have the feature to scan the bar code and make sure you have the right product for rebates. Use these exact products by the May 31st to
