I have made a conscious effort as of late to use everything I buy. I had bought a tube of Polenta in one of my shopping trips in the last month and it was about to expire. Hmmm….what to do with this tube of yummy goodness? POLENTA FRIES!
Warning: I don’t have a ton of photos of this process!!

Bargain Alert!
We have gotten a new grocery store in our town and it is a real hit to the Mom! I had not taken into account Ash Wednesday in my menu planning. Not really having any meat free friendly products in my freezer, I decided to see what Aldi’s had in their isles to help me out of this food dilemma. I found so many bargains, but I refocused and only grabbed on what I needed. They had a great selection of fish and of course some kid friendly foods. I rarely prepare food out of a box for the family but I was tired and this hit the spot!

Aldi’s has some great products and you cannot beat the price. For all the food pictured above I spent $15.29.

If you have never been to an Aldi’s, check it out. You would be surprised by all the bargins inside!
