Pick up meals ......

We have all been there.  The day has gotten away from us and suddenly its dinner time.   The enemy of any food budget is take out or worse going out for dinner.   At the cost of one dinner out for one p reason , you can feed two people for a week!   Thats probably why I could count on one hand the amount of times during my childhood that I waste fast food or food in a restraunt.  

Having a few quick and easy meals that aren’t premade food gets you beyond the  ‘crisis’.  

• Spaghetti and meatballs 
• Nachos 
• Sloppy joes 
• Salmon, baked potatoes, frozen or canned veggie 
• Tomato soup and toasted cheese 
• Egg sandwiches with English. Muffins. Fruit 
• Chilli
• Impossible pie 

All of these take minutes to prep and a lot of them are a step away from the freezer or pantry.   Keeping a pantry or freezer with some basics helps.
