I am absolutely amazed by what these women on TLC's Extreme Couponing can do. I am inspired to be like these frugal divas. There is only one problem: I am lazy, unorganized and barely a coherent grocery shopper. I can't even remember to use one coupon that I have before it expires! So I found an alternative to coupon clipping, extreme or otherwise: Aldi. I love Aldi! I was thinking that Aldi was like one of those cheap grocery stores where everything is generic and cheap but it tastes like its generic and cheap. No NO No. Aldi is a great little grocery store where all of the items are generic brands but the stuff tastes as good as, or BETTER than the name brands. Seriously.
I also made a big pot of Olive Garden's Toscano Soup from this recipe:
Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana
It is Jason's Favorite and it turns out really good, we used a can of Spinach instead of Kale and used Half and Half instead of Heavy Whipping Cream. It's Wonderful!
I was running low on my home-made frozen dinners so I made some tonight.
I start by seasoning and grilling some chicken breast on the Foreman, Jason and I made a big bowl of mashed potatoes and then added veggies out of the can,
Then into the freezer they go.
Since I was grilling up the chicken I went ahead and got the meat ready for fajitas that we will have tomorrow night for supper.
