Bargain Meal of the Week - Pizza Pinwheels

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 week 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.

This is a very kid-friendly recipe. If you have the bacon coupon, replace the pepperoni with the bacon for a cheaper alternative. Serve with green giant vegetables of choice and cookies for desert! If you have all the highest dollar coupons listed, then this meal will cost you the price of pizza sauce and $1.26 (cheese and cookie dough).
