Yesterday we ate very cheaply.
My parents picked up a pile of bread products at the Day Old Bread Store. A whopping $2 for a giant bag of bread. The GOOD stuff. English muffins, dinner rolls, giant onion rolls, etc.
Anyway, they gave us a pile of it when we were last in San Jose.
(We need to find one of those - we have a wonder bread place but it is a bit out of the way).
Anyway, dh told me a little bit back he had some extra ground beef in the freezer if I wanted to use it for anything. So yesterday I figured a hamburger sounded mighty tasty, but knew I wouldn't get away with it while the kids ate other leftovers. LOL.
So I pulled 2 mini-hamburgers out for the kids, and saved myself a few calories I guess. I was thinking of the nice onion rolls we had from my parents (which were very fresh even 10 days later).
We also still had some dinner rolls, so I put the kids minnie hamburgers in those.
What a hit!
That was my cheap meal of the week since it was all leftover/free stuff.

I discovered the Pepperidge Farm outlet in our area. I did have to buy the smallest snack cookie bags at 3/$.99 to get a Mint Milano fix. Other than that $20 got me bread and goldfish crachers (the $6.99 carton at Target was $4.99) and Campbell's soup at hand for two weeks.

Thanks for the reminder--we need to have a massive eating from the freezer effort.
