I was planning to go to the grocery store like usual on Friday, but after our traumatic evening Wednesday night and Thursday morning, I was rather behind and tired. And in surveying our cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer, I realized I had pretty much everything I needed to make it another week without shopping.
So my husband made a quick trip to buy milk, butter, and ice cream (the essentials, you know!), but other than that, I stayed home. I'll probably stop in to the store Monday or Tuesday to pick up some fresh produce but don't plan to buy anything else until my weekly shopping trip next Friday.
You know what? It was so nice to be able to skip shopping this week! I enjoy grocery shopping and snagging great bargains, but it's also nice to be able to take a week off when needed without really even missing it. That's one of the blessings of building and keeping a good stockpile of food and household supplies not to mention that skipping a shopping trip every once in a while is a great way to stretch your budget even farther!
On Monday, I'll share what our menu for almost-no-shopping week looks like. Stay tuned!

Guest Post by Erin from $5 DinnersCreativity is a key part of making my $5 dinners every night. It would be much easier to make spaghetti or chicken and rice every night. But there's no fun in that! A little imagination with some basic ingredients can really add some spark to your meals.
Here's a delicious dinner I made recently for, yes, $5:
Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Chicken–serves 4
What you'll need:
3-4 chicken breasts ($2.29)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce ($0.20)
1-2 apples, peeled and grated ($0.50)
1 lemon, juiced ($0.30)
6 slices bacon ($0.50)
2-3 sweet potatoes ($0.99)
1 cup chopped frozen broccoli ($0.25)
Directions:
1. In small bowl, combine BBQ sauce with grated apple and lemon juice.
2. Place chicken breasts in base of crock pot, pour BBQ/apple mixture over the chicken. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast. Set to low and cook for 8 hours.
3. Slit sweet potatoes with knife or vent with fork. Bake sweet potatoes at 350 degrees for 1 hour in baking dish with 1/4 inch water. Cover with foil. Remove and let cool about 10 minutes. Peel skins off of the potato and mash. Serve with cinnamon and butter if you like.
4. Cook frozen broccoli as directed on package.
5. Serve yummy chicken breast with side of broccoli and sweet potatoes.
Total cost for this dinner for four (two adults and two children): $5.03If you'd like a $5 Dinner meal, just like this one, delivered to your inbox every night, come on over to 5DollarDinners.com and subscribe to our email updates!

Go here to learn how you can get your free Beech-Nut Parents Pack. I called and requested mine and it took all of about one minute to do so. I'm anxious to see what it contains!
