Honey Baked Ham
For Christmas, my dh's boss gave him a couple of gift certificates for The Honey Baked Ham Company. Well, we dug those gift certificates out & decided this would be a very good time to use them. After work today, dh went by the closest store & picked up a 1/2 ham & roasted turkey breast. He had just enough left over to buy lunch for himself -was either that or they'd give him the unspent amount on another gift certificate & since it's taken us this long to use the first ones.... well LOL
We had ham tonight & I think if I am careful & mix it in with other stuff, I will get another 2 meals out of the ham & 2 from the turkey. I have 2 boxes of spaghetti noodles, so I figure one night I'll make turkey alfredo & another night ham & noodles with spaghetti sauce. If we like the sauce (brand I haven't tried before, but it was $1!), I'm going to use it to make pizza style sandwiches for lunch one day. I also have plenty of rice & some frozen veggies so I intend to use Glory's idea & make a dinner pie with some of the meat. If it works out right and I get 5 meals out of this meat, then I'll only have to worry about 2 more dinners before payday!
This has definitely been an eye-opening experience for me. I've been in tight situations before financially, but never like this. Funny how you can roll with the punches & shrug it off when it's just yourself, but when it involves the welfare of your children, well.. that's another story. I'm going to do my best to make sure we have a little more of a financial cushion. That & stock up my deep freeze next weekend! 
I am very thankful for the suggestions & support. I feel very blessed.
Best wishes!
