aha moment

so I was thinking about how I love the mission tortilla tomato basil wraps, but they are 210 cal each and really way too big. I also have the wheat ones at 130, which are smaller and better for me, but just don't taste as good. Here's where my aha moment comes in. why not cut the tomato basil wraps in HALF? there's still plenty of wrap AND it's just 105 cal. edited to add: plus, now I have twice as many wraps to use and save $$ too. :wink:

sounds simple enough, but I'm just excited that my brain is thinking this way now! :happy:

    Good idea!

    I do the same things with my frozen Amy's meals - I'll cut the frozen meal in half, save the other half for the next day, and fill up the empty space with frozen veggies and nuke it. Filling and saving moola!

    I :heart: wraps as well. These have become almost a necessity here....downside is price. :grumble: Maybe we could buy in bulk??? Special MFP discount?????:bigsmile:
