I grew up learning ways to save from my mom and grandma. I started my own coupon journey when my first child was born in 2009 and started the blog on 2010 when baby #2 was born to share my tips with everyone who kept asking about how I was getting diapers for $1 a pack!

I love this recipe! It’s my, “I’m really tired but I have 4 kids I have to feed” recipe. I add a packet of ranch mix in with the gravy mix to give it a little extra flavoring. Sooo good!
Great idea, we have done it with Italian dressing mix too!
