The Frugal Girl

So typically, the only brick-and-mortar store I go to the day after Thanksgiving is a grocery store. Grocery stores are wonderfully empty right after Thanksgiving! We did Thankful Thursday on Thanksgiving, and today we’re doing WIS, WWA on Black Friday. If you are braving the retail crowds, godspeed to you. ?

My new go to meal is Homemade Burrito Bowls. I use rotisserie chicken, Minute® Rice, and all the fixin’s. Instead we’re all ready to tackle our schedule. On crazy busy weeknights, I need a quick & easy, but hearty dinner to satisfy my active family. This is a sponsored post from Minute® Rice.

Is it your turn to roast the Thanksgiving turkey this year? And even if you are not roasting a turkey on Thanksgiving for guests, take advantage of the low turkey prices right now and buy one for your family. This is the best time of year to buy a turkey and you can use the meat for future meals. It’s going to be okay!

This Week’s Dinners: Saturday: Cheese burgers, fries, steamed broccoli, and homemade applesauce. I don’t have a recipe for nachos on the blog, but they’re so easy to make. I browned meat, using my homemade taco seasoning and layered chips, meat, cheese, chopped onions, and tomatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet.

What We Ate this Week: Monday : Ham & Bean Soup , homemade sugar-free applesauce. Thursday: Thanksgiving. Saturday: I am roasting a turkey for my family, mostly for the leftovers, but also so the 4 of us can sit down as a family for a big meal. We’re going to take the time and enjoy a family night.

These are strategies I use weekly to help keep my grocery bill in line with our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. Use cashback apps. You’ll be thankful later.
