A great money-saving tip is to stock up on the markdown meat at the grocery store. This is the meat that is getting close to the sale by date. Sometimes, Barbara grabs several packages, and then takes it home and repackages the meat for the freezer. Recently, there was a steal on sausage links so she stocked up.

She cooked the sausage links for breakfast per package instructions on the stove, and had some leftover links that were perfect for these Maple Sausage Pigs in a Blanket.
