Let's hear it for TJ's....

I have to say it. I love TJ's. It is a store that is full to the brim of good deals. I know, I know... not everything they sell is cheaper. But a majority of the stuff I buy there is... so sit down and listen to me! I have decided to start blogging about my good finds there, so check back often!

Trader's sells orange chicken in their freezer dept. Who doesn't love orange chicken?? It is a delightful concoction of crispy chicken bathed in a slightly spicy ginger orange sauce. YUM!! TJ's brand is $5.00 a bag. I usually get 2 bags for my family and a bag of rice at around $1.50. So, we are looking at $11.50 for an authentic, MSG free Chinese dinner. If I am feeling ambitious, I will mix peas, carrots, soy sauce and garlic (staples I always have) into my rice... and call it dinner!

I challenge you to find a cheaper Chinese dinner that feeds 5-6 people and is this good... go ahead... let me know if you do. :)
