FREE HOME PLANNER
SAMPLE!
Love love love simple dinner at home. Here's what we had tonight:
- broiled chicken breast using my favorite chicken marinade recipe from the freezer ~ I'd purchased the chicken breast several months ago for $1.49/lb. at Kroger and frozen it in the marinade
- corn on the cob ~ 4 for $.99 price matched at Walmart this week (sale at Aldi ended, but they have great prices on fruit in the new ad!)
- baked potatoes ~ 5 lbs. for $.99 price matched at Walmart this week
- Sister Schubert rolls ~ leftover from Easter (our family brought a few packs too many ~ my kids felt like it was a Holiday….)
- Total = $3.49
If I was a hash-tagging-tweeting-girl, here's what I'd say 😉

What was for dinner at your house tonight?
Thank you for sharing a simple meal that does not feel “penny pinched” I have older kids (high school and college) and am making a change from my old crazy high spending days!! However, It’s important to me that the meals are something that they are excited about and don’t feel “cheap”
You’re so welcome! The boneless skinless chicken breast will be on sale at Publix BOGO in the upcoming ad, so I’ll be stocking up and mixing up a bunch of marinade. I love a penny pinched meal, but love it even more when it feels just like dinnertime. Good luck as you work towards pinching those pennies Shelley!
Its great to have simple, inexpensive meals that don't feel "penny pinched" Thanks for sharing!
We had the Rosemary-Maple Pork Tenderloin and Lemon-Butter Potatoes from the Publix ad this week. YUM! It was the recipe that they were cooking on Wednesday when I did my shopping and I just fell in love with it. It was a huge hit with my husband and son. If y’all haven’t tried it, stop by the Aprons stand next time you are in Publix and grab the recipe or you can/should find it in this week’s ad. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Here’s a link to the recipe: http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/AllRecipes/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=4289&mealGroupId=1000
That sounds delicious Angela…. yummmmmm! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
We had spaghetti, but your meal looks so good! Can’t wait to try out the chicken marinade 🙂
