(Sale ingredients based on the Meijer ad week of 3/31/13 - 4/6/13)
The weather is just starting to warm up here in Michigan...which always makes me ready for some lighter fare. These wraps are perfect for a hearty lunch or a light supper. Guacamole adds creamy flavor and pairs perfectly with the salty bacon. Topped off with plenty of lettuce and tomato, these wraps make for a fairly healthy main course. Follow the recipe below, or customize it to suit your family's tastes by subbing in different meats and cheeses.
Here are a "few" recipes you can make with what's on sale at Meijer this week!
Plus, check out the end of this post for some money-saving tips for packing lunches.

My sister-in-law recommended this refreshing salad recipe from her church cookbook. I gave it a try the last time avocados were on sale, and we loved it!
Need an easy meal this weekend? Check out these delicious, easy baked sandwiches, from Andrea at Simple Organized Living. I've made these sandwiches multiple times and I get requests for the recipe each time. The sandwiches are made on brown-n-serve rolls* (on sale at Meijer this week for 99 cents), topped with a yummy sauce, and then baked until the tops get slightly crispy. You can use any variety of deli meat and cheese you happen to have in the house, and you only need to get one measuring spoon dirty when you make the sauce (measure the dry ingredients first, then the moist ones). I hope you like these sandwiches as much as we do!
One of the easiest ways to save money on food is to pack your husband a lunch!
OK, never mind, it's not easy. It takes planning, time, and energy. But I can make my husband a chicken wrap for less than $1.00, as opposed to him spending $6.00 on basically the same chicken wrap at Applebees, or send along an Italian roast beef sandwich and chips for $1.25, as opposed to him picking up a burger and fries for $5.00. I think you'll agree that the savings is worth the planning, time, and energy involved in making his lunch! Not only does packing a lunch save money, but it's usually healthier to eat food from home rather than going out to eat all the time.
