Amanda over at A Few Short Cuts has your weekly meal deal!! This is one that I am pretty sure most of you can make from items in your stockpile–Baked Chicken Pasta Parmesan!
This is a meal that would be perfect for those nights when you are short on time but still want to serve a hot meal. I am going to have to pull this one out one night when I am not in the mood to spend a lot of time in the kitchen! Since I live so far out in the boonies there are no pizza delivery options for me and since the closest “fast food” is 18-20 minutes away–that isn’t a great option either. BUT–with recipes like this one I can make a quick and easy dinner and keep more money in my pocket!!
If you had to go out and purchase all the ingredients you would still be in great shape as you can make this one less than $2 per person! I am fairly confident that most of you could put this one together tonight with what you have in your pantry/refrigerator!!
Great job Amanda!


Looks like you will see two insert this weekend (SS & RP). Remember that inserts vary by region so this just gives you an idea of what you might expect! Go HERE to check it out!
It really looks like a pretty good week–I think I might actually buy more than one paper!! I am most excited about the Birds Eye…if they will go on sale again the boxes will be FREE if your store doubles!!
Laurie over at Publix Penny Pincher has her menu posted. I need some inspiration this week! I have a cold and really have not wanted to cook since I can’t taste anything
I am looking for something kid friendly that is easy… I am thinking that Ravioli Bake may be on my table tomorrow night
Thanks Laurie!!

Here is a great option for the Brawny Paper towels
Buy 11 Brawny 2 roll (essential price of $1.99 through today only –maybe??)
Use 11 $.50/1 (doubles to $1)
Pay $10.89
Submit for $5 Georgia Pacific MIR
Like paying $5.89 for 22 rolls of paper towels or .26¢ per roll.
If you wait and do the deal after the Essentials price ends….I am not sure what the price will be but even if they go to $2.50 you still have a good deal:
Buy 8 Brawny 2 roll (possible price $2.50???)
Use eight $.50/1 (doubles to $1)
Pay $12
Submit for $5 Georgia Pacific MIR
Like paying $7 for 16 rolls of paper towels or .44¢ per roll.
NOTE–several of you have emailed me about the requirements listed on the MIR: Purchase $20 or more (excluding sales tax and after all discounts and credits have been applied; gift cards may be used) To be safe –I will purchase the items with my other groceries to ensure my total is over $20 to avoid any issues

I almost forgot…I hope you all are wearing green
