Day nine - ham and cheese rolls

We are on day nine of not eating out. Although sometimes I kinda crave an unhealthy hamburger, I realize I can make my own that would taste even better!

Jeremiah saw this recipe on a commercial. He really wanted to try it.

Sliced ham
Sliced cheese

Fold in edges of ham to match shape of dough triangle. 2 Roll up each crescent, ending at tip of triangle. Place with tips down on ungreased cookie sheet. 3 Bake 15 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

Tips for money tips on this and in general groceries:
1)I buy a 3 or 5lb ham chunk. This way I can slice it for recipes or dice it for something else. Why pay for someone else to cut my meat and package it all fancy and wasteful.
2)Cheese, buy sliced cheese in the big 160 slices. It will keep in a baggie in the fridge. Yes the 160 slices cost $10-15 at a time, but it last and saves you so much money compared to buying 24 slices at a time.
3) Coupons! I know that I don't normally buy pillsbury crescent rolls, but today before I get a few groceries I'm going to make sure I have coupons to buy the crescent rolls.
4) Don't just leave to get groceries. You will waste more gas when you are constantly getting groceries. However, I know that I have an appointment at 4:00 today, so I will get groceries on my way home. If I wasn't going to leave the house, I would chose a different recipe for today.
