menu plans, fancy dinners on a budget

Lots of folks think that making meals on a budget means we eat beans and rice every night. Luckily, coupons and sale cycles help us afford to eat a lot more variety and it doesn’t have to mean depriving your family of premium ingredients.

This week alone there are great sales on steak, prosciutto, lemons and asparagus.  These are some of our favorite things to eat, so you have to love getting a deal too!
