Amazon Toy Deal!

A reader recently shared this post with me about how to get a pretty good deal on toys from Amazon.com! When you buy $25 worth of the qualifying toys you have the option of then receiving a $15 rebate! That is $25 worth of toys for only $10!!!!!

Sounds like a great way to get a good deal on Christmas gifts! The original blogger of this post confirms that she participated in this last year and was able to get her rebate with no problems! So head on over to Mommy Snacks to find out all the details!

Cheesy Chicken and Rice: Price Breakdown

This is a recipe a friend shared with me that has quickly become a family favorite. I actually changed it a little to make it cost less, yet still feed the same amount of mouths. Below you will see the recipe and prices.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole (feeds 6)

• 1 can of cream of chicken soup (.45 cents at Aldi)
• 1 c. cooked white rice (I am sure you could use brown if you prefer)= .20 (this is a guesstimate... there are 7.5 1 cup servings in a bag of rice you can purchase at Aldi for around 1.20 I think)
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder (I have found garlic powder works well too) (pennies!)
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper (pennies!)
• 2 c. frozen mixed veggies (a 16 oz. bag costs around .99 at Aldi)=.99
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb.) A 3 lb. bag at aldi is 6.59, so 1 lb.=2.20
• 1 c. (or less)shredded cheddar cheese (I don't pay more than 1.78 per 2 cup bag) 1 cup=.89

What you do:

I cube and cook both chicken breasts in a little olive oil. While I do that I cook the rice (rice cookers are the best) and defrost the veggies (microwave). I then combine all ingredients but the cheese together in a 11x8 dish. I might add a little extra water so the rice doesn't dry out. I then cover and bake it at 350 for 20- 30 minutes, or until warm in the middle. I uncover and top with cheese, and cook for a few minutes longer until cheese is melted.

Altogether this meal costs around 4.75 to make or around .80 cents a serving! You can make it on less too if you find marked down chicken or cheese and veggies for a better price!

I hope that sounds easy enough and this has been a great way to get veggies into my toddler! He hardly notices they are there... even the peas!
