Dillard's: Kid's Day

Today from 11a.m.-6 p.m. Dillards is hosting a Kid's day event. Your child can have their pic taken in their Easter outfit, register to win an Easter basket and if they try on anything in the kid's department they can enter a drawing to win some great prizes!

So since we aren't quite snowed in yet it may be a great day to check out this event AND check out their clearance racks! I found I can save A LOT of money when I buy markdowns in the off season for the next year. More on that to come later this month:)

Happy Saturday!

Egg Salad Sandwiches Recipe and Price Breakdown

This is a very easy and quick recipe, not to mention cheap!

Egg Salad Sandwiches: Serves 4

• 6 eggs hard boiled and chopped (regular price these days averages around 1.20/dozen so the price for 6= .60
  
• 2-3 tablespoons of mayo=.25
  
• 1 tsp. of mustard= pennies
  
• 1/4 tsp. paparika=pennies
• Salt and Pepper to taste=pennies
• 1/2 cup green onions (if you prefer) (a bunch is .79 at Dillons and you will use maybe half the bunch=.40
• 8 slices of bread (cost depends on type of bread you buy, we buy the .88 wheat bread at Dillons)= .35 for 8 slices
  

Mix all ingredients together, adjust for taste and place desired amount between 2 pieces of bread. I usually serve fruit and whole wheat crackers with these sandwiches.

Total cost for this meal= $1.60 or .40 per sandwich... pretty cheap!
