Y’all know I love to shop Kroger deals. Couponing and getting a great deal on something makes me so happy, and feeding my whole family at the same time makes me even happier. We are a family of 6, so feeding all of us sometimes feels like a full time job!
This meal plan came directly from those deals, which means every dinner here was built to make the most of the sales without sacrificing variety or flavor. I don’t buy things just because they’re cheap — I build meals around the items my family actually eats. When the two overlap (great deals and foods we love), that’s where the real savings happen.
