BBQ ON A BUDGET

Wow!!! Have you checked out your area 99Cent/Dollar Tree/Big Lots store lately. It had been a while for me and boy was I MISSING OUT! It seems lately, I've been sharing my excitement over all the great stuff I found for a buck with just about everyone I know. The response is usually "Oh, I know!" What... you know?!?!?.... am I the only one who hasn't been shopping at the Dollar Stores!

Anyhow, if you haven't been there lately... check it out. For a tid bit on 4th of July decorations, picnic or BBQ grill items and toys check out my latest "Your Family" report.

We had Two Moms Catering on the show for ways to stretch you food dollar.
A great suggestion... Kebabs! Your meat and veggeis go farther and your children will likely want to help put them together..
"Two Moms Catering" Co-owner Julie Ann Twynman offered up these healthy tasty recipes.

Kebab Recipe
marinate sauce: 3 cups teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 honey, 1/2 brown sugar and 1tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 cup lemon juice, pineapple juice, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. fridge for 1-4 hrs.
save half the sauce for the grill. Use other half to marinate meat and discard after.

Dipping Sauce
Use berry or pineapple yogurt and (honey optional) for your fruits.
Use plain yogurt mixed with ranch dressing mix, a pinch of Cayenne chili and lime juice for your meats.

I love the dollar store! You can get so much great stuff from there. Normally it costs so much more at the grocery store. Same product, less cost!
