Before Easter, Giant of PA had a promotion for a free ham if you spent $400 in the four weeks leading up to the holiday. Eleven pounds of ham made a delicious Easter dinner with plenty of leftovers for another dinner, a breakfast casserole, and lots of ham sandwiches. So easy and yummy. So much cheaper and we love the taste.

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. You’ll be thankful later.
