Remember to check your stockpiles before heading to Target, you may have some on hand already from previous stock-up price sales. (With my own stockpile, the only things I had to purchase were the Swiss Cheese and Stove Top- the rest are all items we have gotten incredible deals on the past few months I have stocked up on.)

Purchase one 2.5lb bag of Market Pantry Chicken $5.00
Plus, purchase 1 box of Stove Top $1.69

You pay $13.01, but you’ll only be using 1/2 the bag of Chicken, 1/2 the box of Pasta, 1/2 the jar of Pasta Sauce, and 1/2 the package of Swiss Cheese
Total Cost $10.28 for 2 meals!

**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.
