Cheap Lunch!

On my last grocery trip, I picked up two Lean Cuisine Chicken Club Panini because I had a store coupon for LC meals, they were discounted and wanted to try them.

I used the self checker, scanned my coupon and following the directions on the screen I handed it to the clerk. Looking at my receipt when I got home, I noticed a mysterious extra savings in coupons and can only guess the clerk must have also scanned the coupon thinking I had not done it?

I know it shouldn't be so challenging to read a receipt, but the store in question has hard to decipher receipts. Last time I had a question, the manager was equally confused and ended up giving me $5 cash because neither one of us were sure I got the $5 off my total order for buying 5 Healthy Choice meals.

If you are a frozen dinner eater, jump over to Mapgirl's Fiscal Challenge for her reviews. Take note with FD #3 she also had a tricky receipt!

I'm not too happy with Lean Cuisine dinners. Last night, I actually had to eat 2 meals to fill up. =( I had the chicken parm & pasta and the pot roast & mash. The pasta was mushy and the chicken was.. rubbery. Pot roast and mash didn't do it for me either.

My favorite frozen dinner so far is Boston Market. I buy them when they go on sale for about 2.50 a meal. Yummmm.......

Yeah, I should have included that I eat a piece of fruit or other veggies when I have a frozen meal, otherwise, in about an hour I want to eat my arm!

I usually have to add a slice of really yummy bread to a frozen dinner or a salad or something, but I think I mention that in my posts. Lean Cuisines have as little as 180 calories. I certainly hope folks are eating more than that!

Unless you're going for the Hungry Man One Pound meals, you're probably going to be hungry.
