To anyone who’s talked to me in person in the past year or two has heard my pitch for Saving Dinner. Saving Dinner, the brainchild of Leanne Ely a Certified Nutritional Consultant, offers countless menu planning offers to help you get dinner on the table every night. I first heard about Saving Dinner about three years ago when I was working full time with a one year old and pregnant with another baby. Anything I could find at that time to keep us under budget and to make our lives easier, I was willing to try. Through Flylady, Leanne offered a number of her recipes for free and almost every single one of them became staples in my menu rotation. She not only provides recipes but also detailed shopping lists and tips for making preparation easier, cheaper and more healthy. In fact I made her Garlic Lime Chicken recipe last night for my family and there wasn’t even a bit of leftovers. All four of us cleaned our plates.
So you know when I read my e-mail this morning that she was offering 48 Weeks of her Frugal Menus ebook for only $19.95 (normally $29.95!) plus she was offering her 250 Money Saving Tips (worth $5.95 regularly) e-book for free along with it (Enter code ‘frugal’ when checking out). I couldn’t refuse. I ordered my own copy and it is fantastic. There are 204 pages of weekly menu plans with shopping lists and recipes! The Frugal Menu e-book is divided into four seasons, because as you probably know, one way to eat frugally is to follow the seasons. Each season is filled with both easy and incredible looking recipes.
The recipes that immediately caught my eye were:
- Grilled Apricol Glazed Chicken
- Cashew Chicken
- Basil Burgers
- Sloppy Joe Pizza
- Easy Beef and Bean Salsa Burritos
- Caramelized Onion, Spinach and Bacon Quiche
And then there is the Free 250 Money Saving Tips ebook too. Some of the tips you might already be familiar with but many were new to me. There were recipes for making your own prepared foods like, Stuffing Mix and Thousand Island Dressing among others. She also gives cheaper meat substitutions, for instance, did you know that if a recipes calls for veal cutlets, that you can use the much cheaper turkey cutlets instead? Did you know that on average people who pay for their groceries with a credit or debit card spend 10%-15% more on their grocery bill as opposed to those who pay cash?
Leanne is only offering this great deal until Midnight, January 30th….that’s tonight! So go ahead and order a copy today. If menu planning and making shopping lists is something you struggle with (I do!) then this will save you an entire years worth of trouble. Or an entire lifetime. You can use these 288 recipes plus shopping lists year after year!
Go order your copy before her sale ends tonight.
