Many grocery stores are having huge sales for the holiday weekend. I’ll be basing my Memorial Day menu on the deals at Shaw’s. For less than $20.00, I can put together a cheap, delicious feast!
Boneless chicken: $1.99/Lb. (I’ll be marinating in BBQ sauce. If you’re expecting a big crowd, do sliders instead of whole pieces.)
Corn: 10 ears for $1.77. (If you have extras, try making Santa Fe Chicken.)
Watermelon: $4.44. (Slice it or cut into chunks. Tons of fruit for little $)
Coke products, 12-packs: 5 for $10.00. (You don’t have to buy 5 for the sale price.)
Hood ice cream: $1.99, with a $1.00/2 coupon. (I’m getting the limited edition Boston Red Sox flavors)
I’ll also be making broccoli slaw from ingredients I have on hand. This is much more junk food than I normally eat, but I enjoy a treat occasionally.
If you live outside of New England and don’t have access to Shaw’s, search through your local flyers. Deals and prices vary, but each region has something good to offer!
What’s on your holiday menu?
Hmmm.. not sure what we are having yet.. except cherries- they were on sale at our Sprouts for 1.88 a pound. I will eat them all:) I did get a cherry pitter so maybe the toddler will get some too.
What an awesome price for cherries! Around here, it’s at least double that now. I’ve never had a cherry pitter, but always wanted one.
