**For those of you are familiar with Price Matching at Walmart, you could take the Target weekly ad with you and pick up these items at Walmart instead. A few items like the Swiss cheese should be cheaper and may bring your total cost down even more.
Let us know how it all goes. This is our first Freebies2Deals Meals Post. So hopefully it is something we can keep doing!

Question? Does Walmart price match Target’s Market Pantry items? Just not sure how that all works. Thanks!!
Melea Johnson
Walmart will usually price match a store brand with their store brand items. So purchase the same size items in the Great Value brand.

I was just at Target and got the cheese for $1.80, but had a Target coupon for .50 of any Market Pantry Cheese so it ended up being $1.30. Remember to check those Target coupons that get mailed to you or that are in their catalogs so you can stack them with any other coupons or sale items! 🙂
I always check your list and then see if I’ve had any Target coupons mailed to me that I can also use and often times there are.
Destanie
I love how you put the recipe on here as well as the “great deals”! thanks

Is there really 56 grams a fat per serving in the parmesan chicken casserole??
Darci
i was going to bring up the same thing. i really doubt there is that much fat per serving in that dish. it is basically the fat from the parmesan and chicken.
Nanette

Don’t forget to go to Target’s web site to print Target coupons! You can stack them with manufacturer coupons, and some of the Target coupons are for Market Pantry items.

I was at Target yesterday and they had the sample stations out. At one of them they were handing out a coupon for free Market Pantry Pasta if you bought a Market Pantry Pasta Sauce! Makes the meals .69 cents cheaper!
Love the Meal Ideas~
Cami
This is great! I have all these ingredients at home already, which is saying a lot because I don’t stock up very well!

another blog that has good recipes that are inexpensive is Utah Deal Diva. I have tried some and like what I have tried so far. I don’t remember if she adds the nutritional informantion. But yes it is always nice to have quick easy meals to fix is alway wonderful.
