Gotta Make Dinner

I do plan to go into more detail at a later time about kitchen must-haves. Even if you don’t fancy yourself a cook, there are just some things you simply cannot do without. I just had an idea for a blog while watching one of my favorite Food Network stars. He was using a splatter screen and happened to mention the price. A while back, this was something I decided would have to go at the bottom of my ‘Must Have’ list… FAR below “back-to-school” clothes or new brakes for the Town and Country van. It’s really not affordable, not if your budget is like mine.

May I suggest spending a little time browsing such stores as TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, Big Lots, and Ross. You can get really crazy low close out prices on some of the best brand name cookware out there. I only paid $7 for my brand name splatter screen, which runs on average $19-$25, maybe even more. Trust me, for a fraction of the cost, you can outfit your kitchen with all the latest stuff. Just invest a little time in the discount stores. You will be glad you did, and people will think you spent a fortune. Shoot, I just gave away one of my secrets.
