Bargain Meal of the Week 9/4/09

It's time for another week of Bargain Meals! Erin over at $5 Dinners (a great read!) is hosting a gathering of bloggers all over the internet, creating frugal meals straight from the sales circulars of their favorite stores. Check it out for even more inspiration. I contribute every Thursday for the current sales at Publix, which run from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Keep in mind that you do not need to purchase two of a product to get the buy one get one price. Publix marks down their products to half price for the BOGO deals.

Items on sale that can be used in this meal:

Publix Hot or Mild Italian Pork Sausage, 1.99 per lb
-$5 off $20 from Meat Department printable (Food Lion)

Green Giant Canned Vegetables, 1.29 BOGO

This is a great almost fall recipe. Serve it with your favorite Green Giant vegetables!
