As we save up to buy our first home, we’re on a big money-saving kick. A big part of that is keeping up our lifestyle, eating the foods we love on a budget, so low-cost restaurant-quality meals are a big bonus.

Our favorite local gyros place (at least for cheap gyros) is about $4.50 for a huge sandwich. Not bad. But the gyros kits from nearby Grecian Delight Foods (I’ll be driving past their plant tomorrow, actually!) makes two good-sized meals with TONS of leftovers—enough for some more sandwiches, maybe a delicious gyros omelet, all for under $7.

I paired tonight’s dinner with the leftover potatoes from Sunday’s lamb dinner. Definitely worth staying in for a night of American Idol (okay, that’s just me and not the hubby—go Adam Lambert!!!)
