Monday evening my
youngest took on her next dollar store meal challenge by preparing a Jambalaya
boxed rice mix and adding some sliced smoked sausages to it. This one she said was super quick and easy to
prepare.
She just poured some
water into a pan, added the rice and sauce packet along with the sausages and
let it cook.
I can tell you it
smelled pretty awesome when she was making it and the girls said that it was
really tasty and spicy too.
She served it with
leftover green beans we already had, but reminded me that Dollar Tree sells
them canned and frozen so it would still count.
I heartily agreed with her.
Clever!
For under $3 you
could make this same meal that makes four to six good sized servings. The rice mix and sausages were a dollar each
and a can of green beans goes for 79¢ at our Dollar Tree. Not a bad deal.
What a smart little cookie you have raised! We used to make that same meal and it was so quick and easy.

DeleteHi Dana,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through one of the other ladies. I think it was Hawaii Planner or Sam. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I admire you and the wonderful, imaginative, fun way you live and raise your lovely girls. You also remind me that politics, nations, ideologies, narratives and rhetoric might have never been more divided but that we everyday people have so much in common: we just want to live decently, have happy children and make our contribution to society.
You are simply wonderful.

Well said Heloise. Glad you found us too.
DeleteI'm playing blog catch up today and I just love these Dollar General posts!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! :)
