Prepare meals ahead and save money

A FEW weeks ago, I mentioned that the way I shop to take
advantage of the specials at my favorite supermarket is to
buy enough for seven meals — use four and freeze three for

next week.

A reader happened to cali when
Il was compiling my list for the
coming week.

She had the ad for her favorite
market and challenged me to come

up with a menu selection that
would implement the pian. She
picked the right time to ask — I
was sitting with the same flyer
preparing my own four and three
oombination.

Here is what I’d come up with:
Meaday: Hamburger pic with
cheese pastry (hamburger from
previous week); potato pancakes,
kernel corn, salad.

Taresday: Chicken-vegetable soup
(chicken breasts $2.49 special —

steam enough for Wed., use broth
and bones for stock, asst. soup
vegetables, 4 Ib./99¢).

(Prepare enough soup for next
week); dumplings, pizza bread
(French bread on sale last week,
alse Jack cheese)

Wednesday: Chicken salad sand-
wiches on whole wheat rolls,
devilled eggs, carrot sticks (this is
our curling-bridge night so we eat
lightly)

Thursday: Sirloin steaks ($2.98 Jb.
— buy for next week); restuffed
baked potatoes (bacon and cheese
on sale last week); green salad and
garlic bread (more of that last-
week sale)

Friday: Shepherd’s pie (leftover
roast from fast week), broccoli
with cheese sauce

Saturday: Spaghetti and meat
balls, green salad, garlic bread
(both hamburger and bread from
last week)

Sunday: Roast leg of pork (special,
$1.28 Ib. -- save enough for
pork-fried rice for next week);
stuffing, (all the leftover garlic
bread!); mashed potatoes, gravy,
mashed turnips (special); seasoned
carrots (special), spinach salad.

My three ‘‘hold-overs’’ for next
week are the chicken soup, the
roast pork and the chicken thighs
(special, $1.69 Ib.). The thighs will
become Teriyaki Chicken.

On the assumption that the soup
will mysteriously vanish, I’m buy-
ing a double shot of steak! Around
here, it pays to be flexible.
