Most people have goals to save money and lose weight. One of the common myths is that products with coupons are all unhealthy. Each week, this list will provide you with some tasty, good-for-you frugal meal and snack ideas based on sales at the grocery store.
Today’s recipes focus on making substitutions for items in recipes based on sale items. For example, the Baja fish tacos call for cherry tomatoes and red cabbage, but vine ripe tomatoes and green cabbage are on sale and work just as beautifully in the recipe. Don’t be afraid to make simple substitutions that save you money without sacrificing flavor.
