I love entertaining guests, and cooking is no exception. For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. I’m not a huge fan of boxed, canned, or frozen food. Cutting Down.

While I have success finding coupons in the Sunday paper and online printing sources, like Coupons.com for hygiene, paper, and cleaning products, food is another story. I don’t find too many coupons for foods that we eat and I only save about $3-5 in paper coupons on each weekly shopping trip, which is hardly extreme.

Jamie just got me to eat kale recently – I like it cooked with a lot of garlic and I also love it raw in a salad with a sweet dressing! We had a great kale salad for Thanksgiving with nuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese with a maple cranberry dressing and it was divine! So I was excited to try these kale chips!
