HAM IT UP!
Easter is all about festive family gatherings
and good food. Whether you’re
celebrating with your closest or hosting
a larger crowd in your home, try these
simple tips to keep everyone happy and full
without blowing your budget.
Plan ahead: Don’t let the pressure of
hosting the holidays stress you. A wellconstructed
game plan can help you stay
on track with your spending goals. Before
heading to the grocery store, take inventory
of what you already have and create a list of
the items you need. These simple steps can
save you time and money in the long run.
Find affordable ingredients and supplies:
Grocery shopping can be a daunting task,
especially with seemingly endless options.
Shopping at a grocery store like ALDI helps
you fi nd everything you need in one quick
and easy shopping trip, including highquality,
fresh, affordable foods for your Easter
spread. While there, you can also pick
up other Easter essentials like baskets, toys,
bakeware, decor and more.
Keep leftovers in mind: Food (and money)
can go to waste when leftovers go uneaten.
Instead of tossing out your forgotten
leftovers, incorporate them into a whole
new dish. Try these Holiday Ham Sliders
using leftovers from main dishes such as
Slow-Cooked Maple Ham.
