i love mac and cheese. that is my favorite cost cutter. one night you can have plain mac n cheese, another nite add burger and its hamburger helper, add a lil season all and it tastes like it. another nite you can add a can of tomato soup right from the can no extra milk or water. changes it up a bit, and makes it so filling. the price just went up on our always save mac n cheese, its 25 cents, thats up six cents. but still worth it. when you add something to it, one box is enough for a side dish for all five of us and a lil side left for daves lunch.
another tip that i love using. a 2 litre bottle is just bigger then 2 quarts. theres an extra glass worth in there. you can make a 2 quart of koolaid in a 2 litre and the taste isnt degraded and you get an extra drink for the kids. with a 8 quart can of koolaid, thats an extra four glasses.
aldis has thier own noodles n sauce. i love thier alfredo. i buy one for like 59 cents, add a can of diced toms and can of mushrooms and peas. thats a gr8 and filling side dish too. i make that alot when were out in our rv, cause i can toss it all in a container and put it in the convection oven and done in 12 mins. i have a basket with handle in the fridge, with small bottles i got in the walmart trial size section for 50 cents each and i fill them with all the condiments and thats easier too, less waste. they cook dogs on the pit while i cook rest inside and get stuff ready for the table.i have a lil plastic box for sliced cheese, and about 12 bottles of stuff in that basket, and it saves time too, i fill em before i head out, i grab the handle in the fridge and its on the table. they can have what they want for thier food.olives are all that i dont have in a bottle, they come in a long tall glass jar tho and it saves space in the basket. i fill one extra and keep in the door of ketchup and mustard, all others the one bottle is all we need on a trip.
