Bargain Meal of the Week at Safeway

There is a pretty good deal on chicken this week (.79/lb) and Cara Mia marinated artichokes are $1.
.
An idea for a meal idea with these items would be Chicken, Artichoke, and Parmesan Sandwiches.
.
This recipe calls for chicken breast, but I think it can be easily modified to use whole chicken that is roasted instead of breaded.
.
I would serve with a side salad with black olives and Italian dressing. Bagged salads are on sale for .45 after coupon this week! See the list of Safeway deals right HERE.

Here is my Bargain Meal of the Week ideas featuring the Safeway deals HERE. Since 4lbs of carrots are just $1.99 this week- I wanted to come up with new ideas to use them up!
.
Carrot Souffle
Use 2lbs carrots $.99
3 eggs .37
1/2 cup margarine .49
Total: $1.85
Might be a good time to practice because this sounds like a great holiday item!
.
Carrot Soup
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth .99
1 cup half and half (I would substitute for milk) .50
2 1/2 cups carrots .49
Total: $1.98
Don’t forget the $1 off Artisan bread printable which should net .99 French bread.

You can also get 10lbs of Russet Potatoes for $1.49 this week and Boneless Chicken Breast for $1.69/lb. Usually my recipes are a bit lighter but since we are talking bacon here I figured you might as well go for it.

.
Grilled Bacon Potatoes
.
Smothered Bacon Wrapped Chicken
.
Cost Breakdown:

Bacon: FREE
Potatoes: $.50

Here is my Bargain Meal of the Week featuring the best deals at Safeway this week.

Since Broccoli is .88/lb here is a quick and easy way to prepare yours:

Broccoli in Roasted Chicken Drippings

1 Head of Broccoli .88
Garlic .33

Try it with Roast Sticky Chicken Rotisserie Style since whole chicken is .99/lb this week.
This needs to cook on low for a long time so save this one for the weekend.
4lbs Chicken $3.96

Total for 4 people: $5.17 and you should have leftovers!

Well this week I am featuring a Bargain Meal idea for meat eaters and another in honor of vegetarians (like me!)

Summertime Mango Salsa Chicken:

4 chicken breasts $1.99/lb this week= $2.98
1 fresh mango $1
1/2 red onion .30
1/2 green pepper .40
1 fresh red chile pepper .50

To keep things light I would serve this with sliced cucumbers with red wine vinegar drizzled on top.

Total: $5.18

Veggie Option:

Eggplant Con Queso (this is a little heavy for warm weather but looks so good!)

1 Eggplant $1
1 cup shredded cheddar .99
1 cup diced toasted bread .25
1/2 cup heavy cream .99

Some reviewers also added salsa.

Total Price: $3.23 (the veggies have enough in the budget for dessert!)
