GROCERY SHOPPING

Yesterday I went shopping because we needed food and there was not milk. There is a great grocery store in Oswego that I like to buy my meat at. I also like that everyone is friendly there. So Haylea and I venture out on a shopping trip. I was in for some great bargains on this trip. Everything in the picture above was on sale. I even got a loaf of bread that was on sale, and I forgot to put it in the picture. The only thing that I bought that wasn't on sale were some biscuits. Go figure

I love when I can get meat for under $2.00 a pound. They had some really good deals this week. Here is what we got. 21.45 pounds of hamburger reduced to $1.79 a pound. I figured I could make meatballs, and hamburger patties and freeze them. We also had really good hamburgers for lunch today. 11.11 pounds of pork roast at $1.29 per pound. They went into the freezer. And 11.54 pounds of chicken breast for $1.59 per pound. I was just telling my dad the other day about the good deal we get on chicken. That went in the freezer as well.

Here are the things that were on sale in the add. I got four things of bacon, three cream cheese, six butters, four apple sauces, sour cream, french onion dip, soda, and the bread I forgot to picture and saved $23.66. The bacon and butter went into the freezer as well. I can say that our freezer is well stocked at this point. The applesauce probably won't last long. I got some to feed to Adalyn. And maybe I will make a cheesecake with the cream cheese. Oh this is exciting.

I am estimating that saved over $75.00. I think I did because the chicken is usually $5.00 a pound. Not every week do I do this good at the store. I just went in on a good week. I know that if I am patient with my shopping and stock up on items when they are on sale, I can get away with buying the necessities on the other weeks. My shopping list is built around the stuff in the freezer and I don't have to stress over not having any food. My food storage is being built slowly, and I am grateful for the encouragement to have food stored for the future, but that is another post.
