Several Ways to Keep Easter Affordable
Simply put, there is no reason you have to empty your wallet to have a great meal on Easter. Here are three easy steps to keep your Easter affordable:
1. Rather than plan your menu off recipes that have long ingredient lists, look for simple dishes that use fewer, more inexpensive foods.
2. Buy your meat at a deep discount. Speaking of your main course, you want to buy a quality cut, but that doesn't mean you can't get a deal. Hams go on deep discount this time of year.
3. Don't forget to use what you have on hand. even if you don't have a super coupon stockpile, you likely have food in the pantry, the fridge and the freezer. Here's more information from momseveryday.com.
