For more ideas on making something new from something old, visit this link Easy Aldi Meals This is what a $6 family meal from Aldi looks like. Salmon over vermicelli and rice, with steamed broccoli. It was all ready in less than 30 minutes. The salmon was on sale for $3.99/bag, and came with 4 generous portions. The rice was $.69/box, and my only complaint was that the sodium content was a little high. Broccoli was $.99/bag, and I steamed it for a few minutes and drizzled with a little butter and a splash of lemon. Yum! What are your favorite Aldi convenience meals/items? Energy Savings I have been dragging my feet about turning on the heat. I live in Pennsylania, so nights have been about 45 degrees here. The digital thermometer said 67 when I started the morning. I opened the south facing windows to let the sun in, ran the dishwasher and opened it after the cycle was done and it warmed the house up 5 degrees in one hour! -- posted by member aleise02 Free Frugal Advice For more great money-saving advice, sign up for these great newsletters and forums: ------------------------------------------------------- Our Sponsor: Take the Education Matters Challenge.
