" This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look: ask for
the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you
will find rest for your souls."
Jeremiah 6:16
One great Tightwad dinner is a baked potato that is topped for a main dish. This is one dinner I really want to make a family weekly tradition.
You can serve a baked potato with steamed broccoli, cheese sauce, sprinkled with bacon bits and feed a family for almost nothing.
To save on the cheese sauce try this recipe.
Cheese Sauce
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan. Blend in 2 tablespoons of flour. Combine it with 1 cup of milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until sauce thickens. Add a half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and cook till smooth.
Another Yummy potato is ... to top a b.potato with chili and cheese. yuuuuummmm

There are only a few big ways to save money but there are a lot of small ways that all adds up.
Please go visit these lovely ladies and glean some good tightwad tips from them.

We have done that with potatoes many times. Sometimes we will add a salad to the meal to make it a little more filling. Very easy meal to do! You gotta love a meal like that! :-)
Mmmm...baked potatoes are a cheap meal. In England they call them 'jacket potatoes' and sell them at stands like hot dogs, with lots of different toppings.
And I love cheese sauce, I always make it extra cheesy!
Hi! I'm back (I hope). I sure missed everyone. I hope I can make the time to get back into regular blogging.
It's funny that you posted this as your frugal idea. I just added this to our weekly menu! I also use that exact recipe for my cheese sauce, except I don't measure anything. :D
I can try to ring you next week if you aren't too busy?
This sounds really good, I would love to try it this week-I LOVE potato recipes, yum!
