Old Navy -- Cheap kids socks and adult t-shirts

Old Navy is having yet another one of their "One Day Wonder" sales this Saturday (8/22). Adult Basic T's are $3 (Limit 5) and Kids/Toddler socks for $1 (Limit 5 as well). If you can brave the crowds, you're braver than I am this week. My kids need socks, but this was my first week back to work and I just don't have it in me to get to the mall early. Happy shopping!

Cleanin' Out My Closet: A1 Steak Sauce Burgers

Since we don't usually eat steak in my house, we pretty much have no need for steak sauce. But....when it's free, the frugal gal inside just takes over and buys as many as I can. So, in search of something to do with all this A1 Steak Sauce in my pantry, I created this recipe. Hubby and kids ate them all. No leftovers!!!

Note: I doubled this recipe to feed my family of 5 and served with oven baked fries and coleslaw (BOGO at Publix this week).

A1 Steak Sauce Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 6 tbsp. A1 steak sauce, divided
• 1 egg
• cheese (I used provolone)
• hamburger buns

Directions

• Preheat grill (or indoor grill).
• Combine ground beef, 3 tbsp. steak sauce, and egg.
• Form into patties.
• Grill until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
• Top with cheese, preferred toppings, and remaining A1 sauce.
• Serve on buns.

Old Navy $2 tanks are back

Old Navy is back with their One Day Wonder $2 Ribbed Tanks sale on Saturday, August 15th. Last time they ran this sale, I opted to go to the gym before hitting the mall and realized, once again, that the early bird gets the worm. These go FAST, folks! By the way, they're cute for summertime, but also make superb gym shirts.
