Budget Friendly Meals With KRAFT

There are so many fun things to do during the summer! Camping, boating, swimming, amusement parks, golfing, just to name a few. Spending time with friends and family on a regular basis is so fun, but it can cost a pretty penny to entertain our children while they are out of school! There’s no better time to #RollIntoSavings than now using KRAFT products on rollback at Walmart, which will help us all create yummy budget friendly meals for $20 or less. Who doesn’t need help stretching their money around the 1st and 15th of each month? I wanted to get a little creative with all the amazing products KRAFT has to offer! One of our favorite meals is grilled cheese with tomato soup, so I thought it would be fun to take that meal up a notch, while saving money! So I made Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Cheese and Zesty Italian Tomato Soup.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to spend my summer cooking in the kitchen while everyone is outside enjoying one another’s company in the warm weather! So when I made my way to Walmart I decided to get the mac and cheese in a cup. Can you believe how many options they have?

I like making meals that my toddler can help me prepare. He loves measuring and pouring ingredients into bowls for me. I love it too, because life is a lot easier with him being able to help me instead of making a mess somewhere in the house!

I am so happy with how my Zesty Italian Tomato Soup turned out. The added KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing made all the difference in the world with the extra flavor and small pieces of vegetables. I suggest using a cup in this recipe. If you’d like you could even cut back on the broth and add more of the KRAFT dressing.
