11/28/2012 Shopping Trip and Freebies!

So this week my mailbox was pretty empty. I was able to get a free 8X10 print from Walgreens, a Steelers towel, and a free local newspaper.  

Weekly Shopping Trip

I decided to go grocery shopping today instead of waiting till tomorrow. I did pretty well, spending only $49.58! I bought a few things that weren't necessary and some things that weren't groceries. Selah destroyed my receipt so I wasn't able to look at it. Here are the items I can remember and the prices are guesstimates:

Milk $3.48

Creamer $1.98

Bread (2) $1.30

Christmas Tree Cakes $1.50

Once again I'm not sure on the prices, but they are around the right price. If you notice I didn't buy meat. I stocked up last week when Food Lion had the meat on clearance.

This week I plan on making:

Chicken Alfredo 

 (made from the whole chicken I cooked, pulled off the bone, then froze)

Deer Chili 

(1pound deer meat, 1 can of tomato paste, 1 can beans, 2 cans of chili, chili mix & whatever else I throw in)

Hamburger Helper 

Stir Fry

 (Chicken Voila $3.48)

Boston Butt with mashed potatoes and a veggie. 

Will have tons of leftovers! I smother it in Lawry's Seasoning Salt and cook on low all day in crock pot
