So the other day on Facebook I saw a status update from a friend that made me do a double take. She said that she had made 18 meals for under $100 and in about an hour.
Guys, it was totally legit! I've had a few other friends do the same thing right before they have a baby to make meal times easy after the little one arrives. I decided to give it a try too. I just followed the recipes and advice given in the link from that Facebook status. And now I'm passing it on to you.
Frozen Crock Pot Meals! by Freebies 2 Deals
I didn't buy anything on sale but I still got 12 meals for about $120 bucks. And they were all assembled during the time it took Abbi to watch one episode of Diego. I'd say that's pretty good.
I did one thing differently than the Freebies 2 Deals post did though. I split each recipe into 2 separate crock bags and zip locks. I knew that each recipe would be enough for two meals for our family. Instead of having left-overs forcing us to eat the same thing twice within a week I split them so we could spread them out a little.
Doesn't that picture just bring peace to your soul? Nothing better than seeing dinner taken care of for the next two weeks :)
This is SUCH fabulous idea! I've been compiling a list of recipes I can do this with and am SO excited to give it a try. Today is the day--I'm headed to the store a little later and tonight will be the night to see how it goes. Thanks for sharing Missy!
