Menu with what's on sale for the week of Jan. 12-Jan. 18

Check out http://preparedness365.blogspot.com/ this week, she used one of my ideas.

Great deals on prepared foods this past week at Bashas. What normally comes to $80, this week is $66. Great week to add to your stock of Ramen noodles or Rice A Roni. This past week I learned how to use a Foodsaver with the jar attachments to save things like chocolate chips, m & m's, marshmallows, cake and brownie mixes, nuts, choc. covered craisin, dried fruits in jars so that their shelf life is more like 5 years or more instead of 1 year. I also bought some fruit snacks and fruit bars to try out in the jars. Anyway, I'm thinking at .49 a box, that Rice A Roni would work great in the jars also. And you maybe could try putting the Ramen Noodles in the Foodsaver bags.

I've been in a funk today. And if you're wondering, my Christmas tree is still up. Anyway, hope that this week's menu appeals to you.
