Simple Supper–less than 20 minutes to feed the family or yourself a couple of meals.


Spring Break is over and we’re back to the grindstone! One method of saving money for your next adventure is to make affordable, cheap meals at home. While I am a huge fan of Aldi’s low prices, deals can be found just about anywhere! This meal out would easily cost $12-15 per person–but I made 3-4 portions (depending on how hungry each person is!) for under $6, total! I pack the extra portions as meal prep for lunches at work.

Ingredients:

3 chicken breast tenders (Aldi’s, $8.99 for the big bag, so about $1.99 used)

1 bag of California Blend Frozen Vegetables (Aldi, $1.89)

A splash of lemon juice (I used the bottle, $0.20)

2 Teaspoons of Herb Mix (Dollar Tree, $1.25, Used $0.20 roughly)

1 tablespoon of Olive Oil ($0.50)

Saute the chicken tenders in the olive oil until almost done, diced it up or shred it, return to pan, add the bag of frozen vegetables and spices, simmer on med-low heat for another 10 minutes. Serve Hot.
