Menu Plan 2/21/11: I'm in an Italian Daze
This week's menu will be full of Italian-inspired dishes, thanks to the Italian Days sale at Publix. I went last week and purchased items retailing for $50 and only spent $10! And I'm planning on going back again before this week's sale is over.
Also, I'll be having relatives visiting this week, which means cooking larger meals than usual. It's a little more work, but it's nice having company!
Here's what's for dinner this week:
Monday - baked tilapia, brown rice and black beans, salad
Tuesday - chicken basquaise over fresh fettuccine
Wednesday - mushroom pizza on whole wheat pizza dough, fruit
Thursday - pasta with meat sauce, salad
Friday - chicken soup with matzo balls, pot roast cooked in the crockpot,, carrots, challah, salad (still didn't make this, and it's better for company anyway)
Saturday - chicken tenders, leftover challah, cut-up veggies
Sunday - dinner out!

Love your blog. Going to be a more frugal shopper. I live in lake worth and want to know what is "smartsource" I want to make sure I recieve it.
@Joji - In the Sunday newspaper, there are coupon inserts included along with the Sunday ads and other features. Generally there are two: the Smartsource (SS) insert and the RedPlum (RP) insert. There are occasionally other inserts like the Procter & Gamble (P&G) or General Mills (GM). Some holiday weekends there are none, or only one insert.
Since you live in South Florida, you can get free inserts in the free Forum newspapers - they're located in kiosks in stores, restaurants, and other public places. This is a great way to get a good collection of coupons for free!
Thank you thank you...I will be on the look out.
