Funny what amuses a couponer...
I was looking back over my posts and noticed the free food that I had acquired over time. I wondered if it were possible to eat a week of dinners just with the free ingredients that I have on hand. So just for fun and as a personal challenge I came up with a menu using only my free items. I have listed the items and posts from which the items came at the bottom. The only rule is that I still had to have the ingredients on hand and that since I often get milk and eggs from CVS as fillers and pay with ECBs, I can include those basics.
I realize that I buy the coupons to make the deals, however, when I purchase the papers I try to only use register rewards earned at Walgreens to pay for them - so low or no cost.
