With these awesome sales, plus a few from last week and some staples from the pantry, I was able to make SIX yummy dinners in five nights this week, too. Several are even freezer meals- to enjoy later when you are too busy to cook.
On Monday, I cooked up a big package of chicken breasts to make a very yummy dinner of Chicken Mojo as dinner #1. A BIG crowd pleaser!! This was step one in a week of dinners, as I pre-cooked a week's worth of chicken at one time. Better yet, I used the crockpot as to not add any extra heat into the house!
On Tuesday, I use some of the leftover Chicken Mojo and great produce sales such as $1 lettuce from Price Chopper to make my version of PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps as dinner #2. Ooooh they are so tasty.
On Wednesday I used the two packs of BOGO free boneless pork ribs (one of my very favorite meat sales that PChop does from time to time) to make BBQ Pork Ribs for dinner #3. A classic any time of year. A simple potato "baked" in the microwave and a yummy salad make this a "stick to your ribs" meal. Very satisfying!
On Thursday I made my first of three freezer meals for the week, Sweet and Sour Chicken as dinner #4. Once again using some of the Chicken Mojo cooked on Monday. The gift (or bird) that keeps on giving. This is the perfect meal for a busy night when you want to eat something tasty, healthy and easy peasy lemon squeezy. The prep for this meal took less than five minutes!
And on Friday, I made my third and fourth freezer meals of the week, Cheesy Chicken and Rice as dinners #5 and #6 for the week. They were the same meal but I made one to eat that night and one to freeze. Or two to freeze. This used up the very last of the Chicken Mojo from Monday night. Not one skinny bit went to waste, but every nibble was incredibly tasty.
And today, Saturday, I am going to offer you one more meal prep tip for the week. You know those yummy freezer meals that I made this week? Those make awesome gifts! Great to give to a sick relative or friend or someone who just had a baby. Great to give to a friend who is under a lot of life stress, too. It is so easy for you to make them ahead of time and gift as needed. Because while a scented candle is lovely, nothing says I love you like a home cooked meal!
How much fun to prepare once (chicken, onions, rice) and use many times over the week! The key is to have a PLAN.
I pay close attention to Price Chopper sales ads, manufacturer coupons, Price Chopper coupons, Catalina deals (this is my weak spot but I am learning to be better at them) and what I already have in my pantry to make the most of my grocery budget each week. Planning ahead to stockpile the best deals is another budget saver. For example, this week I will pick up a few of the chicken packs, Polar Springs 12-packs, Clorox wipes, Suave lotion, Breyer's ice cream, pork ribs, mayo and Kikoman marinades for my stockpile. I clearly do not need everything this very week, but these are all items I love to use throughout the summer months.
I also took the time on Sunday to plan out my dinners for the week, based on the protein and veggie sales. Not only does this save your budget, but it also saves you time and most important with summer approaching...calories. Look again at all of the meals I just made this week. Click on the links to see each ingredient. Those are really healthy meals, y'all! Not just a bunch of junk to fill you up. I made six healthy, gluten free meals, to feed 4-6 people, using one package of chicken and two packages of pork ribs.
It is so worth the extra time it takes to plan on Sunday knowing it will save me time, money, energy and calories throughout the remainder of the week.
So tell me, what was your favorite purchase from Price Chopper this week?
