Frugal Friday!

The Robinson's have been eating clean for almost a month now.  It's been hard to find "fun" snacks for the kids that are natural or organic and that don't cost a fortune!  A few weeks ago, I heard of nature box.  I looked up the website and ordered 5 snacks for $14.99 with free shipping (it usually costs $19.99, but I googled promo codes and found one for $5 off).  There are a lot of options to chose from.  10 days later, my box was delivered to my door and my kids were so excited about it.  Here's what it looked like:

We chose dark chocolate berry trail mix, dried pears, organic mighty mix, 

cherry berry granola, and nuts for granola.  

Each month, we can go online and choose 5 more items to be mailed to us.  Warrick enjoys getting to pick out a snack especially for him.  I found a ton of promo codes online, so for several months I will be able to get the box for $15 instead of $20.  I love that my kids enjoy snacking on organic and/or natural items.  (here's a $5 off promo code if you are interested:  refer25).  If you find a promo code that doesn't work, just google others... I tried a few before one worked.    

I will leave you with an easy & frugal 90% clean meal that my family enjoyed this week.
Here are the ingredients and cost break-down:
organic olive oil
salt
meijer organic rotini $1.50
1 lb organic chicken $2.99
tomato $0.33 (non-organic: I couldn't bring myself to spend $3.49 for organic)
asparagus $3.99 (non-organic, but it's one of the "clean 15")

Total cost:  $8.81

Directions:  chop and cook chicken, chop asparagus and tomato.  Cook and drain pasta and add all other ingredients.  Add salt and olive oil to taste and stir lightly.  It's a tasty, frugal, and easy meal that my family really enjoyed.  Sorry, I forgot to take an "after" picture.  But it was pretty :)  

Oh, and before I forget... I used the bottom 1/2 of the asparagus to make asparagus soup the next day for lunch.  It was really good!!!  

Happy Frugal Friday!
