I shopped today for all the things I could and left a little money to spend at the produce sale tomorrow. I am starting to buy meat from the butcher block more often and buying small amounts. This limits what we eat and makes it so I don't have to touch raw meat. I can just freeze the packages that are in 1 meal portions. I know I could probably save money by buying large packages and freezing it myself in separate bags, but I don't have to worry about having Ziploc bags to freeze it in and I don't like touching it.
Here is what I have bought so far....
Cranberry Pomegranate Juice - Two at 2.50 each
Tropicana Orange Juice - 2.89
Bag of reduced apples - 1.72
Cottage Cheese - .99
Large Bulk Couscous - 1.28

ReplyDeleteThat's funny about touching the raw meat. My sister HATES to touch it! I think it had something to do with plucking chickens when we were younger.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing about the butcher meat - at least with ours - it seems like it thaws out so much faster than if you buy it at the grocery store.
Last week was the first time I ever bought capers too! When we tried them I just look at my husband and said why have I never used these? And I am with you on the meat. I hate touching raw meat! EEEEWWWW!
ReplyDeleteI love buying meat from local butchers as opposed to the grocery store, seems like a much better option. You did good! Very low oop.
ReplyDeleteGreat shopping this week. Thanks for linking up at Pounds4Pennies this week!
