Free Chik-Fil-A TODAY!
Okay, Labor Day goers --break away from crafting and head on over to Chik-fil-a for a free Chicken sandwich!Some reports form Alanta said it must be a Jersey... but here in Flower Mound, Texas - a hat or anything would do. I'm pretty sure they were even allowing this at the drive through!
Head on over-- it's good all day!
When we got there at 11:15 there was almost no line, but by 11:40.. it was a biggun. Might want to try the late afternoon time, rather than dinner.

FREE Chik-fil-A tomorrow!
Don't forget- tomorrow on Labor Day you can get a free original chiken sandwich at Chik-fil-a. Just wear any sports logo in.
It'll be busy!

Knock me over with a feather... $5 Frito Pie
Knock me over with a feather-- turns out someone has been reading the blog. In fact, two people! They reminded me I've been lax on updates, which reminded me about tonight's FLASHBACK DINNER.
Flashback dinner tonight is Frito Pie. It's close to a $5 for a family of four, provided two of the four are not teenage boys.
I have some picky eaters, so I made this in two batches.
Brown 1 lb ground beef and drain. (On sale- $1.98/ lb.)
Place back into skillet with 1 can chopped tomatoes (7 ounces or close - $.95)
Now, place 1/2 of this mixture aside.
To the rest add 1/2 packet of taco seasoning (.99 cents/2 = .50)
Let the water from the tomatoes cook down.
Serve with grated cheddar over fritos (in a bowl, or Middle School style from a small bag with the side cut open.) If this doesn't bring back visions of insecurty and homeroom, nothing will.

Chicken Tacos - $5 Dinner
I am always in search of a $5 dinner. If you are new to this blog, I probably need to mention that this means $5 for a family of four. Tonight fit the bill.
The other day Kroger had a meal deal (I won't get on my soapbox about how I don't always think these are a good deal...) anyway, it included free taco shells. I actually needed 2 of the other things, so I went ahead and took the deal.
1 box of 12 taco shells-- FREE.
Ground beef?? Too rich for my blood. Chicken.
I had Pilgrim's pride cheicken tenders that I got on the buy 1 get 1 free sale at Kroger (about every month, it seems) plus a $1.00 off any Pilgrims pride fresh chicken product from a May (?) circular. Total chicken cost $2.59.
Cheese- Bag cheese from Kroger on sale $1.50 (I bought quite a few!)
Total cost for tacos for 4? $4.09. And there are shells, chicken and cheese left over, so my actual cost was even lower.
Side note-- sometimes old favorites were favorites because our parents were thrifty. My chicken nugget girls LOVED the chicken tacos and even asked for more. They never had tacos in hard shells before :/.
Cooking:
Thaw chicken if frozen. Cut into small pieces (take out bones if there are any.)
Nuke (microwave) for 3 minutes on high. Remove, cut up more and cook again for 1 minute. Check again, if not cooked repeat 1 minute increments.
Separate chicken into small people and big people piles in bowls.
In the small people bowl-- shread chicken using two forks (ugh!) or PC whacker chopper. Same for big people bowl.
To big people bowl o' chicken, add taco seasoning mix (99 cents) and broth from cooking the chicken.
Serve with shredded lettuce or not. Tomatoes? only if garden grown for this price!
Enjoy and happy thrifting!
