I always refer to this dish as my "Single and Broke Single Mom" dinner.

If you go online, Motherhood Maternity also has a sale section, and Zulily offers good deals (it takes awhile for them to ship, though, so plan ahead and order early for what you think you'll need in a month or so).
I have heard other ladies swear by Old Navy Maternity for price as well (online only, I think).
