Budget Meal Ideas for June 5th - June 11th

Welcome back, everyone! There have been lots of great posts this week. As always, thank you for helping each other out!

Aldi Grocery Store

As I go through the posts, I am seeing a reoccuring theme. Many of you love Aldi's for grocery shopping! We don't have one here but I have been to visit one in Oklahoma in a trip. Interesting place. Since we have so many people interested in it, I went looking and found a book recommendation to help you with shopping at Aldi's: Almost All ALDI: Shopping and Meal Planning Around Sales and Seasons. Hopefully some of you will find this helpful if you are big Aldi shoppers. I did really love the price of the freezer goods. I also bought some clothes and specialty foods there, too. I don't recall the refrigerator goods prices so can't provide an opinion there.\

Spices

Mmmm, nothing is quite as good plain as when it has a little spice to it. I thought some of these suggestions looked fantastic for how to flavor chicken and other meats. The Everglades Heat had a number of people that recommended it. To save some money, the TIGER SAUCE and KITCHEN BOUTQUET BROWNING AND SEASONING SAUCE are 5 and 6 PACKS, which is much cheaper per bottle that way. Find a friend or two to split it with!

Dave Ramsey Quote of the Day

Since our Facebook group, Dave Ramsey - Budget Meal Ideas, was inspired by the obvious, I thought we'd all enjoy a quote for the day! Buck the norm, how are you saving money at home today? For us, it's eating leftovers for dinner tonight.

Budget Meal Recipes for September 23rd - September 26th

Thank you to everyone that is sharing links to recipes! I know we all love trying new things. That being said, the computer is having issues today so the list is only for a few days instead of the whole week. Something is better than nothing, though! Amazon Deal of the Day I am watching for a specific food item to come on sale on Amazon. In the meantime, I am finding some other good deals that others of you might appreciate. The first is the Issiki Kitchen Pastry Cutter. ON SALE FOR $4.90! That is cheaper than you can get at any box store and it is much better quality, too. While I'll admit $47.06 is definitely overkill for a pastry cutter, the deal price is definitely worth it. The second deal is the Bluesim 7.5 Inch Professional Chef's Knife. My husband and I discovered this week that a good sharp knife makes working in the kitchen so much easier. Our knives are all fairly dull so this week I finally pulled out a boxed k...
