A little late again this week, so sorry. Please take a moment, if you haven't already, to comment on the Apr. 17th post for the Fry's Gift Card contest, it ends tomorrow (Tues., May 4) night. I love all of the comments that I've been getting and enjoyed the one by anonymous that read, "My wife made me do this." What a good hubby you are anonymous.
Lots of Hispanic staples on sale this week. This is the week of the year that I like to stock up on my salsa (dear son can go through a jar in one day) and tortilla (I freeze them) and enchilada sauce supplies for the year. Add a coupon to the sale price and it can be a substantial savings. If you don't believe me, just try it.
Is it just me, or have you noticed food prices creeping up ever so gently and slowly again? Have you noticed product packaging is shrinking? Have you also noticed that manufacturer coupons are not as big of a value than they were two years ago? They are still good, don't get me wrong, but I've noticed that what once was a "buy one and get 55 cents off", that here in Arizona doubled to a dollar, is now more like "buy two and get 55 cents off" coupon. More important than ever to stock up on the goods when they are a decent price and with a coupon if possible and shop from your pantry instead of the store shelves each week.
Here it is:
$77.90

Dinner
1-Macaroni and cheese, canned veg of choice, french bread
2-Tacos, lime/cilantro rice
3-Baked chicken, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli (Bake the boneless chicken breasts fully or part way and slice horizontially as to give you twice as many portions.) Use leftover chicken for chicken enchiladas on meal idea #5.
4-Tacquitos, guacamole salad see http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Guacamole-Salad-Barefoot-Contessa-Ina-Garten-239592 I was thinking that this had beans and corn in it, so that's what I planned on. Beans, corn and avacado, onion and red or yellow sweet pepper which would be delicious, I think. If you want to make the full recipe, you're going to have to add, grape tomatoes, and jalepenos to your grocery list. I personally would leave the jalepenos out.
5-chicken enchiladas, chips and salsa
6-Hot dogs, suddenly salad pasta salad
7-Crustless quiche or a crust quiche if you want, use some of the bacon for this, green salad
