AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) —For the Home Cook is all about saving money on our grocery bills, especially as we approach times when the budget is tight, we have extra costs like holidays and when the kids are out of school and eating two to three times as much. I recently stumbled on a person doing Dollar Tree dinners, meals that were shelf-stable and affordable. We are running through some of those using items from either Dollar Tree or Walmart and seeing how we can make a lot of meals out of not a lot of ingredients. The great thing about these recipes is, all except one, has shelf-stable items.
