Happy Friday: How One Reader Scored $270 Worth of Chipotle Meals for Free
Sent from reader, Jen:
As most know, food costs and groceries can rack up a big bill pretty quickly so my household has been getting REALLY creative in an effort to cut our spending on this category. In addition to participating in household challenges (I like the pantry and freezer challenges myself), we recently took advantage of an offer we were able to “bank” from last summer’s Chiptopia challenge that Chipotle put on.
We “cashed” in our reward last week which was worth $270!!!! We then took the ingredients from the catering and not only ate a week’s worth of Chipotle inspired meals (yes, a lot of quesadillas and tacos) BUT we turned the massive amount of leftovers into freezer meals to stretch our prize even farther. In all, our reward came out to 21 meals for the first week (three a day over seven days) plus some freezer stocking of 27 frozen burritos, 20 black bean veggies burgers and several baggies of frozen brown rice to use for stir-fry meals in the future.
Thank you so much for posting that deal last summer! So worth the challenge!!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
