Budget Friendly Menu 7/23-7/27

I have company coming in town this week and they looooove meat! So I understand if you are a little overwhelmed with my ideas but they are sure to impress company.

Monday: TBone Steaks on the Grill & Corn on the Cob on the Husk

Griller’s delight, I am making steaks and corn on the cob grilled on the grill.  Both of these items I am picking up from Kroger because it's an awesome sale price. I am going to make my own Chive Butter, recipe below and it can be put on both the steaks and corn.

Ingredients:

Stick of unsalted butter (softened)

 ¼ cup of finely chopped chives

¼ cup of finely chopped shallots

Parchment paper

Directions for Chive Butter: Combine all three ingredients and then roll it up (like a log roll) tightly in parchment paper. Put in the fridge for an hour or so and enjoy!

Tuesday: Whole Roasted Chicken Salad

I am using the deal from Randalls (a whole chicken and a side for $9.99) and making a simple chicken salad. I put eggs, shredded carrots, cheese, and cucumbers on mine.

Wednesday: Simple Pork Loin

I am using the deal from Kroger and making a simple pork loin. I rub garlic rub and a raspberry chipotle sauce that I get from HEB and then roast it in the oven.  I will put a easy salad and roasted carrots for my side dishes.

Thursday: Chicken Fajitas

I am going to use everything from HEB’s meal deal for chicken fajitas. I am making a big buffet of sour cream, wholly guacamole, salsa, olives, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and hot sauce.  There is something for everyone.

Friday: Simple Salmon

I am getting the salmon from HEB and this is so simple I don’t know why I don’t make it more often. I rub brown sugar over salmon fillets and put them in the oven and bake it. That is it, and it tastes oh so yummy. I will make salad and potatoes for a side.

Idea for Your Stockpile!

I have company coming for a loooooong visit and I thought I would make them feel comfortable by making them a welcome basket. Minus the basket ($2 at Target) I had everything just lying around my house!

I used toothpaste, toothbrushes, ponds face wipes, shower puff, shave gel, razors, shampoo, lotion, and soap!  All of this says, "Welcome Friends!" What do you do with your stockpile?

Ivory soap still FREE at Walgreens and NOW Kroger

                                            

The $.99 Ivory soap sale is going on through the month of July at Walgreens if you still have your $1/1 coupon it is free.          $1/1 Ivory or Safeguard Personal Cleansing Product, exp. 7/31/12 (P&G 07/01/12)

Also I stopped into Kroger last night and they had Ivory and Safeguard bar soap on sale for $1/1, so it is free there also.

****If you don't use bar soap this is a great donation item.  Homeless shelters and food banks are constantly in the need of bar soap. 

Kroger Mega Event Shopping Trip

Right now at Kroger there is a mega event going on and there are some major good deals to be had. There is a loooooooonnnng list of items on this mega event so make sure to grab the list that is located by the door next to the in store ad.  This mega event states that if you buy 10 items on the event list get $5 off at checkout. I can not stress enough how important it is to get the items in multiples of 10. 11 and 9 will not work and mess up all your hard work.

Here is what I did:

I got little Sesame Street books for my daughter's daycare for Christmas and an Elmo book for Valentine's day. I got gift bags, tissue paper,stickers for everyday use.  I also picked up Pirate themed party bags for my neighbor's "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" themed party.

I got all of this for the bargin price of $30 at Target! According to my reciept I saved $85.09! Check out their $1 spot and look for the ones with blue dots those will be the 70% off discounted items.
