This week isn't a specific restaurant feature, but rather a food deal I wanted to share with you all!

Now that my older son is in school more days than my youngest, I've settled into a new grocery shopping routine. We start at Aldi or BJ's to stock up on everything we can (these boys are eating machines, and we've got to get the most bang for our buck!), then head next door to Earth Fare for the specialty items we can't find elsewhere. I have several food sensitivities, so there are a handful of things I can only get there.

To make our grocery trip something we both look forward to (for my toddler and me, to be honest), we always stop by the juice and smoothie counter and split a PB&J smoothie. They'll even divide it into two cups for us, which is such a nice touch.

While waiting for our smoothies—and trying not to drool over all of the fresh sandwiches, pastas, and other grab-and-go meals—I noticed two fantastic family dinner deals that I had to share. Both are just $15 and are available every day. Even if you cook at home most nights, it's hard to feed a family for that price. And if you have a larger family (or one with especially big appetites), grabbing two is still a great value.

Current pasta options include:

I've seen the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo in person, and it looked delicious and more than enough to feed a family. As an added bonus, all of the pastas are seed oil-free, if that's something that's important to your family.

So, if you need a night off from cooking but don't necessarily want to eat out, these are two great dinner options to keep in mind. They're affordable, convenient, and a nice way to get a homemade-style meal on the table without the work.
