Had the Italian parm for dinner tonight. It's a bit like shake and bake. It comes with three components -- seasoned panko, a cheese mix, and a heavy duty bag that you seal the mix and the chicken in

Sounds like it would be easy to use.I wouldn't mind trying it on fish. I am with you though it would have to be on sale or with a coupon because the price regularly is too high for me. :D
When I started to try to get healthy, I promised myself I wouldn't let the grocery bill shoot up because of it. I started couponing/buying only the things on sale and starting a small stockpile of things I use frequently.
I now save about $8K a year on grocery bills, lowering the amount from $300+ per week for my household to $75-100+ a week.
'I now save about $8K a year on grocery bills, lowering the amount from $300+ per week for my household to $75-100+ a week.' Now, I'm REALLY impressed!! I grocery-shop blind, not even paying much attention to price. I may have to rethink my strategy :)
It's worth costing out. It's astonishing how expensive things are even between stores.
Here's an example: The ground chuck at Walmart usually sells for $3.48/lb. My local Winn-Dixie (a Southern retail chain) sells it for $3.99/lb. The buy price -- which comes up every 2 1/2 months -- is $2.49/lb. That's nearly a dollar difference per pound.
So, every time the sale price comes up, I buy enough to last my family for 2 1/2 months until the next sale comes up. I usually get about 15 pounds (3 of those big, family size packs), repackage it -- 1lb per quart sized bag, and freeze them flat on a cookie sheet. It's a bit of trouble, but I'm saving $72 a year just by doing that one, small thing.
