We enjoy the Voila! Three Cheese Chicken from Birds Eye $6.49 But we add our own additional frozen vegetables (plain, 1 pound, Italian blend) and cubed boneless skinless chicken (marinated for a day, then cooked and cubed) to make it come out to about $2.25 per serving (4) and about 300 Calories.

For $2.50 in the added ingredients, double the yield and improves the carbs, sodium, and protein. The calories are virtually identical.

The 21 ounce Birds-Eye package says that it serves three, but in practice we find that it serves two. Add your own generic frozen veggies and cubed cooked chicken and you serve four.

If you like books and are in the US, I’ve had some success with paperbackswap.com. Can be good for getting rid of books you no longer want in exchange for ones you do. There’s a minor transaction fee charged to keep the site afloat, and of course shipping fees. But USPS has a media mail rate you can use that’s cheaper than first class postage.

Considering how much fruit, veg, meat and other products that Poland produces, I think there might be more more sites or apps, both for food and for other items.

Let me know if there’s more I could add to our list of resources.
