Wednesday Dinner

I didn't intend to have Asian meals featuring rice for two nights in a row, but that's just how it ended up because it was the quickest and easiest thing to serve after a busy day.

Harris Teeter had Birdseye Viola! brand bag-to-skillet frozen meals on sale BOGO last week. When combined with coupons for $1 off 2, the price came down to $4.15 for 2 bags. I've found that some varieties can serve 3 when you add in a few side dishes (like the Garlic Shrimp or Garlic Chicken) but others really don't stretch beyond 2 servings. Their Beef and Broccoli is one of those can't-stretch-it varieties, but it's really good so I buy it whenever I can get 2 bags for under $5.

We served the Beef & Broccoli with a box of Asian Sensations cream cheese wontons as an appetizer/side dish (purchased with a coupon, of course).

$4.15 - Beef & Broccoli (all-in-one meal contains rice)
$2 - cream cheese wontons (after coupon)

$6.15 for dinner for 4 (sister joined us)
