It’s November y’all…time to start thinking about “the big feast day”…

It is on sale NOW!

I’ve put together a simple Holiday Entertaining Guide to help you be the best hostess or guest during this holiday season. This guide is the antidote to every other holiday entertaining guide out there. And it’s packed with the same help and love you get from $5 Dinners every day.

You’re going to love chapters about…

• How much should you budget for your holiday meal
• What things must you include and what can you leave out
• Tips to outsmart the grocery stores and get the most value for your coupons
• The perfect plan to have everything cooked using only one oven
• And how to turn your leftovers into more amazing meals the next day

But that still wasn’t enough. Because holiday entertaining is more than just food. We also included…

• A fun list of great and proven conversation starters
• How to make your home smell wonderful and feel homey when your guests arrive
• Ways to make beautiful decorations and centerpieces that cost next to nothing
• How to get the kids involved AND be excited about helping
• And 5 proven ways to reduce the stress of the holidays, and actually thrive through the holidays

Plus there are 30 simple recipes, from side dish to main dish, dessert to appetizer, that will not disappoint your guests. And that won’t drain your budget either.

Because each of you has unique needs and desires when it comes to what you want to know and in what areas you need information to help you spend less, there are a number of different newsletters set up on $5 Dinners so you can get what you need…and not what you don’t!  Some of the newsletters are sent out once a week, others once a day…and the coupons newsletter is sent out “express” delivery so you’ll never miss out on coupon savings!

The rundown of the free email newsletter options…

• Daily $5 Dinners Email Newsletter - Receive all the recipes, meal plans, money saving tips, and coupons in your inbox every evening!

If you don’t deal with food allergies, please share this with someone who does!  This email will be delivered after each deal or coupon is posted, likely no more than 2-3 times per week.

If you use an RSS reader, such as Google Reader, you can get free RSS updates there as well. Each of the daily, express and weekly newsletters are completely free. Yes…completely free!!!

And again, welcome!  We are so glad you are here!  We hope that the cookbooks and the website will help you spend less and less each week at the grocery store! Let’s cut that grocery bill in half, shall we?!

Erin and the $5 Dinners Team

(Rehearsal from my segment in May.)

Yep…that’s right.

I’m thrilled (and honored) to be invited back to do a special bargains show on The View.

I’ll be traveling to New York City this week to tape the show…that will air on Friday. This Friday, October 21st.

SO…set those DVRs!

You can follow my adventures on Twitter and Facebook. I love getting to share the “behind the scenes” with you!

And of course, I’ll remind you to watch on Friday

“See” y’all from NYC later in the week!
