classic-reuben-sandwich-1Earlier this week I shared my recipe for Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage. I always grab a big 3 – 4 pound roast just so I will have leftovers to whip up my husband’s favorite – Classic Reuben Sandwiches.

Thanks to the sales this week at Publix this meal is easy on the budget. St. Patrick’s Day is next week and this would be a perfect recipe to whip up. My boys are not big fans so they just do a grilled cheese but my husband happily has these for dinner then for his lunch the following day.

Pair this with roasted potatoes and you have a meal for four that’s under $1.60 per person!

Here are the other recipes I have shared as part of our  Publix menu plan for the week starting 3/13 (3/12 for some)
