After looking through the sales ads for, Kroger was the winner for our meal planning. Some people may have time to go to several stores to really take advantage of all of the deals. However, most of us are just thankful to make it to one. Taking the time to see where the best deals are and organizing meals around that really will save time and money. That is why meal planning from what is on sale is so important.
As a bonus, there are two easy recipes included! Here is a link to this week’s Kroger Ad (February 14-20, 2018).
