July 2010

This week Amanda brings you another great budget meal based on the grocery store sales. This week’s meal features Beef and Broccoli for just $1.90 per serving. Amanda gives you a shopping list as well as step-by-step instructions complete with pictures to help you create this delicious meal.

Each week I will highlight Amanda’s fabulous recipes that take advantage of the Publix sales flyer. If you don’t have a Publix near you, you could easily print and save the recipes to use when the items are on sale at your local store.
